Optimal blood pressure helps our brains stay at least six months younger than our actual age
Peer-Reviewed Publication
Australian National University
People with elevated blood pressure that falls within the normal recommended range are at risk of accelerated brain ageing, according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU).
The research also found optimal blood pressure helps our brains stay at least six months younger than our actual age. The researchers are now calling for national health guidelines to be updated to reflect their important findings.
The ANU study, published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, found participants with high blood pressure had older and therefore less healthy brains, increasing their risk of heart disease, stroke and dementia.
Participants with an elevated blood pressure, but within the normal range, also had older looking brains and were at risk of health problems.
