Adults who were diagnosed with hypertension between ages 35 to 44 had smaller brain sizes and were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia compared to adults their age with normal blood pressure, according to a new study
High blood pressure in young adults is linked to smaller brain size and increased risk of dementia, a new study has found.
Adults who were diagnosed with hypertension between ages 35 to 44 had smaller brain sizes and were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia compared to adults their age with normal blood pressure, according to a study published Monday in Hypertension, a journal of the American Heart Association.Adults under age 35 had the largest reductions in brain volume compared to adults their age without high blood pressure, which could come with adverse health effects, said Dr.
Reducing other risk factors for dementia such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and smoking also decreases your risk of developing dementia, Galvin said.This study reaffirms the importance of young people getting regular health check-ups and taking good care of their health in early years, Finney noted.If you notice changes in memory, thinking or behavior as you age, let a medical professional know, he added.
