Conscientiousness Is Associated with Lower Risk of Dementia among Black and White Older Adults.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The results of analytical studies show that the association between hypertension and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains controversial. METHOD:We searched studies related to the association between hypertension and the risk of PD. We pooled the ORs and risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence interval...
