美国科研人员在最近出版的《高血压杂志》上撰文称,高血压尤其是中年高血压患者,会增加其老年时罹患痴呆症的危险。一项小规模的研究结果证明高血压与老年痴呆症之间存在联系。研究人员称,高血压可导致大脑组织损害。首先,高血压可危害大脑血管,导致动脉硬化;其次,高血压同样可危害大脑小血管,降低大脑控制血液流 American researchers in the recently published “Journal of Hypertension” wrote that hypertension, especially middle-aged hypertensive patients, will increase their risk of dementia in old age. A small study confirms the link between hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers said high blood pressure can lead to brain tissue damage. First of all, hypertension can damage the brain blood vessels, leading to atherosclerosis; secondly, hypertension can also damage the brain’s small blood vessels and reduce brain control of blood flow
