Summary
This study looked at medical records from over 155,000 older adults with high blood pressure to see if two common diuretics, amiloride and triamterene, affect the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Researchers analyzed data from Medicare claims between 2008 and 2018. The goal was to find out if one drug might be better at protecting the brain, but the study only observed existing data and did not test a new treatment.
