Table 3 Multiple logistic regression analyses and the association of blood pressure and Alzheimer disease, presented according to split age groups (<60, >60 years) and blood pressure medication status (never or ever)

From: Association between blood pressure and Alzheimer disease measured up to 27 years prior to diagnosis: the HUNT Study

  Never BP medication <60 years old (n = 15 267) Never BP medication >60 years old (n = 3 665) Ever BP medication <60 years old (n = 3 329) Ever BP medication >60 years old (n = 2 173)
