Plots of Predicted Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE, black) and Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SUM, gray) scores vs time in months since baseline for patients with recent/active hypertension (solid lines) vs. remote/inactive/absent hypertension (dashed lines) for (a) Alzheimer’s disease (AD), (b) dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), (c) frontotemporal dementia (FTD), (d) vascular dementia (VaD), and (e) normal patients. Predictions for MMSE and CDR-SUM scores based on average demographic characteristics of patients from the longitudinal sample at baseline: white female, age 71.7, 15.4 years of education, BMI of 27.0, smoked for 9.7 years, with remote/inactive/absent atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia.
