Researchers compared brain MRI findings in older people in their 30s and 40s who had high blood pressure with those who had normal blood pressure. They found that the high blood pressure group had significantly smaller brain volume and worse white matter in some areas. Both factors are associated with dementia.
The study also showed that negative brain changes in some regions were stronger in men. Scientists believe the differences may be related to the protective effect of estrogen before menopause.
