Study showing the relationship between heart disease and dementia

A team of researchers has shown that people at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity run the risk of undergoing brain changes that can lead to dementia..

The research team, based on a study conducted by the University of Edinburgh in Great Britain, examined by MRI the brain of 9772 adults. Information and data on their medical and health records were completed before analysis, according to the free channel.

The study suggested a scientific hypothesis that "there is a link between brain and cardiovascular disease factors" and found that all of these factors – excluding cholesterol – were related to brain changes abnormal in people with dementia..

The researchers identified risk factors for heart and brain health related to "smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity" and concluded that with the increase factors of vascular disease, brain health deteriorated. And be responsible for giving all orders to all body members via nerve signals.

Tests revealed that patients with white matter, tissues located in the deep parts of the brain and able to transmit nerve signals to the body's organs had strong links between vascular disease factors and brain structure in the regions. brain responsible for more complex thinking skills that deteriorate during the development of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

And on the age stage in which the rates of vulnerability to heart health and brain factors are common, researchers in their study show that these effects appear in the middle of human life with the same effect as age.

The study underscores the urgent need for international health organizations to raise public awareness of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension, as well as so-called modern diseases associated with the practices. and negative health habits.NorthDifficult to diagnose some rare diseases, which affect one type of population out of 200,000, noting that 80% of these rare diseases have a relationship with the inheritance one way or another, in addition to the environmental factors resulting from the pollution of the environment.
