Study Offers Hint of Hope for Staving Off Dementia in Some People
People who received intensive treatment for hypertension were less
likely to develop minor cognitive problems than those receiving standard
treatment.
The results apply only to those age 50 or older who have elevated blood pressure and who do not have diabetes or a history of stroke. But that’s a condition affecting a lot of people — more than 75 percent of people over 65 have hypertension, the study said. So millions might eventually benefit by reducing not only their risk of heart problems but of cognitive decline, too.
