Unveiling the Impact of Pre-Clinical Alzheimer’s Disease on Blood Pressure: Insights from UK Biobank Mendelian Randomisation Studies

This study presents compelling evidence that pre-clinical Alzheimer’s disease increases systolic blood pressure, using innovative Mendelian randomisation and parental dementia instruments in UK Biobank data. These findings highlight complex vascular interactions preceding clinical dementia.
