Key result
Hypertension is a modifiable risk factor that plays a significant role in the development of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular dementia.
Why the study?
Chronic arterial hypertension is a known risk factor for dementia, but the relationship between hypertension and Alzheimer disease remains incompletely understood.
Does hypertension management prevent or delay age-related cognitive impairment and dementia?
This review highlights hypertension as a key modifiable risk factor for dementia and Alzheimer's disease, emphasizing the need for blood pressure control to preserve cognitive function.
Early hypertension control may slow dementia; leaves open causal Alzheimer's links in Level 5 data.

Machaczka et al. (2020) conducted a review in Hypertension and Dementia (Alzheimer's disease). Hypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated. Hypertension is a modifiable risk factor that plays a significant role in the development of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular dementia.
