Dementia risk across blood pressure categories: a South Korean nationwide study
Based on the 2024 ESC BP classification, both elevated BP and hypertension were associated with an increased risk of dementia, especially VaD. These findings support the clinical relevance of 2024 ESC criteria and highlight midlife adults and women as potential priority targets for early BP management to preserve cognitive health.
