Alzheimer’s is concerned with hypertension

Japan Shiga University of Medical Science on the island Hongsi Professor study found that high blood pressure and dementia in a certain relationship. He found that men over the age of 65 in systolic blood pressure with no significant difference between age and the age of the women incremental increase in systolic pressure, diastolic blood pressure on the men and women in the performance of the lower diastolic blood pressure greater age, systolic blood pressure in women 21. 3 kPa (160 mm Hg) or diastolic blood pressure in more than 12.7 kPa (95 mm Hg) less than the proportion of male high. Application of the island Hongsi Professor Hasegawa summary of the intelligence score Shiga 65-year-old home more than 1,289 elderly people with the epidemiological investigation, found that men suspected dementia or Alzheimer’s, a 7% to 17% female, aged higher The incidence of dementia also higher. At the same time found that the higher systolic blood pressure the incidence of dementia also higher systolic blood pressure at 22.7 kPa (170 mm Hg) more than women dementia incidence of 29% in addition to age, smoking and alcohol consumption the impact of factors, found that diastolic blood pressure of 8.0 kPa (60 mm Hg) The following summary of men Hasegawa intelligence score was 5.4 points lower than the average.

Hongsi professor on the island came to the conclusion that: the level of blood pressure and Alzheimer’s disease significantly the incidence of the relationship between the systolic blood pressure may increase dementia in the elderly causes dementia patients, the diastolic pressure lower than higher systolic blood pressure more premature death.
