For Women, High Blood Pressure in Your 40s May Be Tied to Increased Risk of Dementia
Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS – Women who develop high blood pressure in their 40s may be more likely to develop dementia years later, according to a study published in the October 4, 2017, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
“High blood pressure in midlife is a known risk factor for dementia, but these results may help us better understand when this association starts, how changes in blood pressure affect the risk of dementia and what the differences are between men and women,” said study author Rachel A. Whitmer, PhD, of Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, Calif.
