Elevated DBP in late life was associated with lower VEGF in the FC in dementia. No relationship was seen between DBP and (A) FC VEGF in controls (Pearson’s correlation, ns, n = 99). Late-life DBP was associated with lower (B) FC VEGF (Pearson’s r = −0.1909, P = 0.0322, n = 126) in dementia cases. No relationship was seen between DBP and PC VEGF in (C) controls (ns, n = 97) or in (D) dementia cases (ns, n = 125). Late-life SBP did not correlate with VEGF in controls or dementia cases in either brain region (E–H; ns). Each point represents a single case. The continuous and interrupted lines indicate the best-fit linear regression and 95% CIs. Abbreviations: BP = blood pressure; FC = frontal cortex; PC = parietal cortex; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor; y = years.
