Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor for the brain and dementia, alongside diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

“Hypertension isn’t just a risk factor for cardiovascular disease—it also increases the risk of cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.”

“there is diabetes hyperlipidemia but in terms of hypertension uh and I think you've sent me a few papers but I think it's very interesting to to know that if you have early hypertension if you're young then you have hypertension it's possibly more harmful than if you have it later in life”
