High blood pressure is the main risk factor for the development of cognitive diseases
Doctors from the USA called long-term negative effects of a person, especially in middle age, high blood pressure. Devoted to a study published in the journal Hypertension, briefly about it, reports the American heart Association.
As shown by scientists, the high pressure is the main risk factor for the development of cognitive diseases in adulthood that are associated with the cardiovascular system, as well as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.
The high pressure causes disruption of blood flow in the vessels of the brain, which negatively affects the functioning of the human nervous system.
To such conclusions scientists have come, having conducted the review of studies on the reasons for the development of cognitive impairment in the elderly.
Currently, there are about 40 million people with different types of dementia (acquired dementia), of which 80 percent of diagnosed vascular disease of the brain or Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, scientists estimate that due to the General aging population, rising life expectancy and the lack of treatment that number could triple.
