Make sure you to keep your blood pressure started early, if you do not want to eventually end up with a dementia disease. According to a recent study, people with high blood pressure tend to have problems with his memory as they entered middle age years compared with those with normal blood pressure. The research team revealed a link between blood pressure and early signs of dementia or dementia itself. They found that people with high blood pressure is more risky to have problems pronouncing words and mental ability, as a sign of the condition known as cognitive impairment.

Dr Georgios Tsivgoulis from the University of Alabama who led the study revealed, "It is possible that by preventing or treating high blood pressure, we potentially prevent cognitive impairment that can be a sign of dementia." Patients considered to have high blood pressure if the pressure higher than 140/90 mmHg. This research found a link between memory problems and diastolic blood pressure. If the diastolic blood pressure increased 10 points, then the chance a person has cognitive problems is also increased by 7 percent. A study published in the journal Neurology involved 20,000 participants aged 45 years and over, where nearly 1 in 13 participants are having problems with memory.

Previous research has also shown that high diastolic blood pressure can cause weakness in an artery in the brain, which can result in damage to the cerebellum.
