Study Finds Hypotension Strongly Linked to Alzheimer's Disease Risk in Large Cohorts
By
Lizette Borreli
Summary
A cross-sectional study of nearly 800,000 adults from the UK Biobank and All of Us Research Program found that multiple cardiovascular disease subtypes are linked to increased Alzheimer's disease risk, with hypotension (low blood pressure) showing the strongest association. Adults with hypotension were nearly three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's in the UK Biobank cohort and nearly twice as likely in the All of Us cohort, compared to other cardiovascular conditions like hypertension.

Multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) subtypes are associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), with hypotension showing the strongest link.
Results of a cross-sectional study, which included nearly 800,000 adults from the UK Biobank and the All of Us Research Program, showed significant associations between AD and several cardiovascular conditions.
