The trial results showed that a 4-year intensive blood pressure lowering program not only reduced blood pressure but also significantly decreased the risk of dementia. The study involved 33,995 patients from China and demonstrated a 15% reduction in all-cause dementia and a 16% reduction in cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) in the intervention group compared to usual care. The intervention was a team-based approach involving village doctors, primary care physicians, and hypertension specialists. The study highlighted the importance of blood pressure control in reducing the global burden of dementia.
