Intensive BP-lowering strategy does not harm cognitive function

13 Mar 2026

In Chinese hypertensive patients, lowering systolic blood pressure (BP) to a target of <120 mm Hg for 3 years appears to have no adverse effect on cognitive function, according to a study.

Air pollution ups risk of Alzheimer’s disease

11 Mar 2026 by

Exposure to fine particulate matter PM2.5 may elevate the risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mainly through direct pathways instead of mediation by common comorbidities, suggests a study.

Angiotensin-II stimulating agents associated with lower burden of key AD neuropathologies

11 Mar 2026 by

Cumulative angiotensin II–stimulating (vs angiotensin II–inhibiting) antihypertensive exposure is associated with lower risk of certain dementia-related neuropathologies, a US study has found.

Gait speed an early marker of covert CSVD?

10 Mar 2026 by

A cross-sectional analysis presented at ISC 2026 suggests that a decline in mobility is an earlier functional manifestation of covert cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) than cognitive impairment.

HZ and stroke risk: Implications for zoster vaccination

10 Mar 2026 by

In an interview with MIMS Doctor, Dr Kay-Cheong Teo, Specialist in Neurology, and Dr Anthony Tam, Specialist in Infectious Disease, both from the University of Hong Kong, discussed the intricate herpes zoster (HZ)–stroke relationship. They also highlighted how recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV), with its high efficacy and favourable safety profile, can play a significant role in preventing HZ, mitigating varicella zoster virus (VZV)–related sequelae such as debilitating post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), and potentially reducing stroke risk, as demonstrated by recent cohort studies.

High BMI ups risk of vascular-related dementia

09 Mar 2026 by

A Mendelian randomization (MR) study shows an association between a high BMI and a higher risk of vascular-related dementia, which is partly mediated through high blood pressure (BP).
