Impact of Hypertension on Mortality due to Vascular Dementia: Nationwide Trends from CDC-WONDER (1999–2023) (P8-13.005)

Key Result

Hypertension was analyzed for its impact on national mortality trends in vascular dementia among U.S. adults aged 55 and older from 1999 to 2023.

Key Points

• The study aims to analyze how hypertension influences mortality trends related to vascular dementia in older adults in the U.S.
• National mortality data from CDC-WONDER was utilized to analyze trends from 1999 to 2023.
• Outcomes of individuals with and without hypertension were compared to assess mortality patterns.
• Mortality rates from vascular dementia were significantly higher in individuals with hypertension than in those without.
• Trends indicate an increasing impact of hypertension on mortality in this demographic over the study period.
