The Toowoomba Minute: Treating high blood pressure to prevent Alzheimer’s disease

Treating high blood pressure to prevent Alzheimer’s disease

New research from the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) suggests that high blood pressure treatment should be part of Alzheimer’s disease prevention strategies. Hypertension is the most common risk factor for dementia, affecting an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide, including over half of all people over the age of 65. Antihypertensive medication is known to help prevent strokes but up to this point there have been few studies investigating whether antihypertensive medication can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia. Latest research published in the journal Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, and led by Dr Matthew Lennon from UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA), looked at data from 31,250 individuals across 14

What’s Happening Following recent data released from MCG Quantity Surveyors, it reveals that regional markets are demonstrating higher rental yields compared to metropolitan areas. Regional Areas Outperforming Metros “Regional areas are exhibiting higher rental yields than metropolitan areas,” says Mike Mortlock, Managing Director of MCG Quantity Surveyors. “For instance, West Pilbara in Western Australia has house yields of 9.85% and unit yields of 13.12%, driven by strong rental demand in the mining sector.” Zooming In Victoria’s Campaspe region reports house yields of 6.23% and 11.28% for units. These yields are influenced by affordable property prices and consistent rental demand. “Regions like Campaspe in Victoria are currently reflecting strong rental yields,” Mortlock notes. Queensland’s Outback – South and Bowen Basin –
