Studies of the association of high blood pressure [BP] to dementia are not consistent. Understanding long term trajectories in blood pressure of those who do and do not develop dementia can help clarify the issue. The Honolulu Heart Program/Honolulu-Asia Aging Study followed a cohort of Japanese American men for an average of 32 years, with systolic and diastolic BP measured at six examinations and dementia assessed at the final three. In an analysis of 1890 men who completed all six exams, 112 diagnosed with incident dementia at exam 6 were compared to the 1778 survivors without dementia. Trajectories in systolic and diastolic BP up to and including the sixth examination were estimated with a repeated measures analysis using 3 splines. From mid- to late-life, men who went on to develop dementia had an additional age-adjusted increase in systolic BP of 0.26 (95% CI 0.01-0.51) mmHg per year compared to survivors without dementia. Over the late-life examinations this group had an additional age-adjusted decline in systolic BP of 1.36 (0.64-2.07) mmHg per year. These associations were strongest for vascular dementia, and were reduced substantially in men who were previously taking antihypertensive medication. Similar changes in diastolic BP were observed but only for vascular dementia and the findings were not modified by antihypertensive treatment. Over a 32-year period, compared to men who did not, those who did develop dementia have had a greater increase, followed by a greater decrease in systolic BP. Both these trends are modified by antihypertensive therapy.
