Age‐Varying Association Between Blood Pressure and Risk of Dementia in Those Aged 65 and Older: A Community‐Based Prospective Cohort Study

Structured PICO

Does high SBP increase the risk of dementia in adults aged 65 and older?

Population

Adults aged 65 and older in a community-based setting

Intervention

High systolic blood pressure (SBP)

Outcome

Risk of dementiahard clinical

Adequate control of hypertension in early old age (<75 years) may reduce the risk for dementia.
