Data from the SPRINT MIND trial suggests intensive blood pressuring-lowering was associated with slower increases in white matter lesions and improved cerebral blood flow. 

Intensive Blood Pressure Treatment Could Protect Against Cognitive Decline

Greater improvement in mild cognitive impairment for older adults with positive beliefs about age suggests a link between cognitive health and cultural or societal influences.


Older Adults with Positive Age Beliefs More Likely to Improve Cognition Over Time
