95% {CI} 1.15-1.76; {P} =.001) and 26% increased risk compared with individuals with treated hypertension ({HR}, 1.26; 95% {CI}, 1.03-1.53; {P} =.02). {I}ndividuals with treated hypertension had no significant increased dementia risk compared with healthy controls ({HR}, 1.13; 95% {CI}, 0.99-1.28; {P} =.07). {T}he association of antihypertensive use or hypertension status with dementia did not vary with baseline {BP}. {T}here was no significant association of baseline {SBP} or {DBP} with dementia risk in any of the analyses. {T}here were no significant interactions with age, sex, or racial group for any of the analyses. {C}onclusions ans relevance : {T}his individual patient data meta-analysis of longitudinal cohort studies found that antihypertensive usewas associated with decreased dementia risk compared with individuals with untreated hypertension through all ages in late life. {I}ndividuals with treated hypertension had no increased risk of dementia compared with healthy controls.}, keywords = {{ETATS} {UNIS} ;
