Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Association Between Antihypertensive Medications and Cognitive Impairment in an Elderly Population

Abstract

Antihypertensive use, particularly diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzymes inhibitors, beta-blockers, and angiotensin receptor blockers, may be associated with a lower rate of cognitive decline in older adults, including those with AD. Until a randomized clinical trial confirms our results, findings of this observational study should be interpreted with caution.
