I presented this work in the session of Early identification and prevention of brain disorders at the Society for Epidemiologic Research Conference, 2020. The work from this presentation has been published at the European Journal of Epidemiology, more information here.

Hypothetical blood-pressure-lowering interventions and risk of stroke and dementia

We aimed to study the effects of hypothetical interventions on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and smoking on risk of stroke and dementia using data from 15 years of follow-up in the Rotterdam Study.
