   High blood pressure in 30s or 40s is warning sign of dementia in later life

   High blood pressure in your 30s or 40s is a warning sign of dementia in later   
   life, according to Oxford researchers.   
      
   It increases by 62 per cent the chance of vascular dementia, the most common   
   type after Alzheimer’s, they said.   
      
   Those at risk can protect themselves by taking common medications.   
      
   More than 150,000 people in the UK suffer from vascular dementia, which causes   
   memory, speech and concentration problems. It is caused by diseased blood   
   vessels reducing supplies to brain

   vessels reducing supplies to the brain.   
      
   Published in the Stroke medical journal, the findings suggest that blood   
   pressure problems at a young age build up over time, leading to problems later   
   in life.

   The research team, based at the George Institute for Global Health at Oxford   
   University, examined the medical records of more than four million Britons.   
      
   They found a 62 per cent increased risk of vascular dementia for those who had   
   high blood pressure between the ages of 30 and 50. For the 51-70 age group,   
   the increased risk was 26 per cent, and for the over-70s no change could be   
   found.   
      
   The team found that high blood pressure was still a risk factor even after   
   adjusting for the presence of stroke, the leading cause of vascular dementia.    
      
   Professor Kazem Rahimi, who led the study, said: ‘Vascular dementia rates   
   are increasing all over the world and will pose a significant economic and   
   social burden in both developed and developing countries.

   High blood pressure in your 30s or 40s is a warning sign of dementia in later   
   life, according to Oxford researchers. Those at risk can protect themselves by   
   taking common medications   
   ‘So these results are particularly important.   
      
   ‘We already know that high blood pressure can raise the risk of stroke and   
   heart attack.   
      
   ‘Our research has shown that high blood pressure is also associated with a   
   significantly higher risk of vascular dementia.’   
      
   Increased blood pressure is a known risk factor for stroke and cardiovascular   
   disease.   
      
   But until now studies were conflicting over the risks for vascular dementia,   
   with several even indicating that low blood pressure was associated with an   
   increased risk of dementia.   
      
   Dr Doug Brown, director of research and development at Alzheimer’s Society,   
   said: ‘The results show that even in your 30s and 40s, high blood pressure   
   can significantly raise the risk of vascular dementia later in life.   
      
   ‘There is no silver bullet for preventing dementia, but everyone who is at   
   risk of high blood pressure should get it checked regularly and receive   
   effective treatment.’   
      
   Dr Rosa Sancho, head of research at Alzheimer’s Research UK, added: ‘This   
   study has capitalised on the rich data held in electronic medical records to   
   strengthen the link between high blood pressure and dementia risk, and suggest   
   that mid-life could    
   be a particularly important window for reducing the risk of future vascular   
   dementia.   
      
   ‘While it’s important that treatments are given to help control high blood   
   pressure, this study doesn’t suggest that people without high blood pressure   
   should be taking these medications specifically to reduce the risk of vascular   
   dementia.’   
      
   Three Britons have been cured of the most common heart rhythm problem by a   
   pioneering treatment that creates a personalised map of the damaged organ.   
      
   Using the software, doctors at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester were able to   
   make hearts beat regularly again – offering hope to more than a million   
   people in the UK affected by atrial fibrillation.
