Researchers analyzed data from 267 participants in the National Institute on Aging\u2019s 90+ Study and found no significant relationship between these risk factors and brain changes in this age group. Interestingly, blood pressure-lowering medications such as diuretics and beta blockers were associated with reduced risks of specific brain conditions, suggesting potential protective effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study reveals that common cardiovascular conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, known&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":457,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454\/revisions\/457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fctuckerbatesville.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
