Summary

This study tests whether lowering blood pressure can slow the growth of white matter lesions (small brain changes linked to thinking problems) in older adults. About 820 people aged 60-88 with high blood pressure and mild cognitive concerns will take part. Researchers will compare brain scans before and after treatment to see if blood pressure control helps protect the brain.
