Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated the long-term effects of intensive (aiming for SBP of 120 mm Hg) versus standard blood pressure control (SBP of 140 mm Hg) on the development of mild cognitive impairment and probable dementia in patients with hypertension.
  • Over approximately 7 years of follow-up, the results showed fewer cases of probable dementia in the intensive treatment group (85 per 1000 person-years) compared to the standard group (102 per 1000 person-years), with a hazard ratio of 0.86, suggesting a potential benefit of intensive blood pressure management.
  • Despite some limitations, such as fewer dementia cases than expected and early trial termination, the findings support that intensive blood pressure control may reduce the risk of developing dementia, aligning with previous research and emphasizing the importance of blood pressure management for cognitive health.

youtu.be/jnieAQMbkH4 Really interesting. I got a BP meter a couple of weeks ago because I had an NHS test and it was high. Interesting that a few days after getting the meter it suddenly went back down again and is currently normal.
