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.
