  1. Visit-to-Visit Blood Pressure Variability and Longitudinal Tau Accumulation in Older Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) 2021-12-30 Brain scans and imaging

    BPV is related to tau accumulation in brain regions vulnerable to Alzheimer disease, independent of average blood pressure.

  2. Blood pressure is associated with higher brain amyloid burden and lower glucose metabolism in healthy late middle-age persons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2011-08-06 Brain scans and imaging

    Epidemiological studies suggest that elevated blood pressure (BP) in midlife is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in late life.
