Use of beta blockers reduced risk of dementia

Live healthy and long

From Newsmax health

In the Honolulu study reported by Dr. Lon White at Pacific Health Research and Education Institute, those who took anti hypertensive drugs known as beta blocker:   propanololo, atenolol, and metopronol did not have damages from demenetia and Alzheimers.   Surely the lower blood pressure offered as protection for the brain of the subjects.  Less damages were visible after the autopsy

The study involved 774 men in a study that covers the period 1991 to 2012 and who had ages 71 to 93.  Those who took the beta blocker had less fewer lesions than those who took other blood pressure lowering drugs.

The study cant be conclusive owing to the small number of sample...

More studyneeded.
