Researchers have found that comprehensive management of high blood pressure, including medication and coaching, significantly reduces dementia risk. A study involving nearly 34,000 participants revealed that addressing hypertension can decrease the risk of dementia by 15%. The research involved two groups from rural China, with one receiving intensive treatment and the other usual care. This study highlights the importance of addressing hypertension as a modifiable risk factor for dementia, suggesting that such interventions should be scaled up globally to combat the rising rates of dementia.
Antihypertensive treatment can prevent dementia in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Given the high prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension worldwide, this effective intervention should be widely adopted.
Researchers say tackling high blood pressure could reduce the risk of dementia by 15%. This underscores the need for better management of hypertension globally.
