People who have high blood pressure could be more likely to develop dementia in later life, according to a new study.
Researchers have found that tackling hypertension is the most effective way of preventing the disease, and suggested that the earlier it is tackled, the lower the chances are that person will develop symptoms.
A total of 28,008 participants took part in the study carried out in Australia, which presented the strongest global evidence for lowering blood pressure as a way to avoid having dementia.
