Is Hypertension Linked to Dementia?

Share:

According to a study published in the European Heart Journal, high blood pressure in midlife is associated with an increased risk of dementia later in life. The study followed over 8,000 participants for an average of 25 years and found that individuals with high blood pressure in their 30s or 40s had a significantly higher risk of developing dementia in their 60s and 70s. The research suggests that maintaining healthy blood pressure levels in midlife may be crucial for preventing dementia in later years.

Dr. Archana Singh-Manoux, a lead author of the study and a research professor at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, said, "Our findings emphasize the importance of addressing high blood pressure in midlife to prevent cognitive decline and dementia in old age."
