Inadequate blood pressure control, increasing challenge in dementia prevention among older adults of Nepal: Preliminary findings

The frequency of uncontrolled hypertension is high among hypertensive older adults in Dhulikhel Municipality, highlighting gaps in effective management. Despite moderate medication adherence and high obesity rates, these factors were not significantly linked to hypertension control. Further research is needed to identify other factors for improving blood pressure control and reducing cardiovascular and dementia risks in Nepal.

Abstract

The frequency of uncontrolled hypertension is high among hypertensive older adults in Dhulikhel Municipality, highlighting gaps in effective management. Despite moderate medication adherence and high obesity rates, these factors were not significantly linked to hypertension control. Further research is needed to identify other factors for improving blood pressure control and reducing cardiovascular and dementia risks in Nepal.
