Many people with high blood pressure know that they could be at risk for stroke and heart attack. However, too many people, despite what they may know, still struggle to get their blood pressure under control. Now a new risk of high blood pressure is emerging: the connection between uncontrolled blood pressure and dementia. Important new studies link high blood pressure, especially in midlife, to an increased risk for dementia later in life.
Scientists are working hard to learn more about this connection. In the meantime, don’t take unnecessary risks. Keep your blood pressure under control.
