A new study by a research team from the University of California at Davis in the United States confirmed that the prevalence of hypertension in the thirties is related to the deterioration of brain function at the age of 75. As part of the study, the research team compared magnetic resonance images in the brains of a group of elderly people who suffered from high blood pressure when they were in their thirties and forties.
The researchers found that participants who suffered from high blood pressure developed problems that are usually associated with the possibility of developing dementia later in life.
In addition, the study also showed that the negative changes that occurred in the brain as a result of hypertension, such as a decrease in the volume of the gray matter and the frontal cortex, were more evident in men compared to women. “Opportunities to treat dementia are very limited, so identifying the causes of this health problem and early prevention methods may be an important component to reducing the burden of this disease,” said researcher Christine George from the university’s College of Public Health Sciences.

The study added, “High blood pressure is clearly a common component of dementia, and the current study demonstrated that high blood pressure in the early stages of adolescence affects brain function decades later.”
It is worth noting that high blood pressure is a common disease which in the long run can cause serious problems such as stroke, heart and kidney failure.
