Effects of blood pressure changes on Alzheimer's disease

Carlos A Feldstein. Neuroepidemiology. 2010.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent cause of dementia. Whereas other major causes of death have been decreasing, the number of deaths due to Alzheimer's disease is rising. As there is no cure for this type of dementia at present, preventive measures have assumed great importance. By analyzing data from available longitudinal studies, the current review presents evidence supporting a link between Alzheimer's disease and blood pressure changes.
