Older people with mild high blood pressure in favor of the brain

A long time, people think that high blood pressure is not conducive to a disease of the brain. But the latest scientific research shows that older people with mild high blood pressure help to improve the ability of brain activity, slow the aging process of the brain.

The study results showed that people over 70 years of age, those subjects with mild hypertension and the memory capacity than those who focus on the extent of peer pressure than normal.

In recent years, some researchers believe that the treatment of high blood pressure contribute to the prevention of cerebral vascular damage. But there are also some researchers believe that in fact the treatment of hypertension will reduce the speed of blood flow within the brain and brain damage. Therefore, high blood pressure and brain in the study of the relationship between the recession, there have been different results.

In this latest study, scientists of the 495 aged 70-85 years of age the blood pressure between the elderly and their brain function was tested. Testing of brain functions, including the overall function of the brain, memory, attention concentration, visual memory and language ability.
The researchers found that normal blood pressure in addition to language function, other brain functions in all the test results are the worst. And the performance of the best are those with high blood pressure, after the treatment has not yet returned to normal people. Therefore, the researchers believe that mild high blood pressure are conducive to enhancing cognitive function in the elderly.

The researchers also found an interesting phenomenon, namely, brain function and the relationship between blood pressure in different ways for different. For example, overall brain function and attention test results showed that with the increase in blood pressure, brain function and attention in general to improve the situation will become a steady increase. High blood pressure and memory and the relationship between the curves is that the memory center of blood pressure better than in the low and high blood pressure of the subjects above.

Researchers believe that blood pressure control in the normal range, in terms of certain age groups are likely to benefit. However, after the entry into old age, blood pressure control, if it continues to be affected in the normal range of cognitive function in the brain, thus affecting the quality of life, this is a need to weigh the issues. Although scientific research has proven that the control of hypertension, help people live longer, but new findings show that people must also be considered to lower blood pressure may be the impact of the aging brain.
