New York, May 2 (Reuter's medical news) According to " neurology " magazine published in April, hypertension and Alzheimer's (AD) appearing 65 years old later During have positive connection. In addition, hypertension has no effect on memory, language or comprehensive cognitive function.
In a longitudinal research, Dr. Richard Mayeux and his colleague of New York Columbia University have assigned to the materials of 1259 medical insurance old men without dementia in 7 years Analyse.
At base-line level, 731 patients (58.1%) There is medical history of hypertension, and with diabetes, apoplexy and heart disease. In the patient with medical history of hypertension, the morbidity danger of AD has not increased (the rate [RR ] has been 0.9) . Researchers point out, have not " influenced AD dangerous assessment to the treatment of hypertension. " In addition, ordinary hypertension patient's hypertension level and memory, language have nothing to do with the change of comprehensive cognitive ability in this period of time.
However, researchers still find, hypertension and blood vessel are dull-witted (VaD) There is whole dangerous increase . Analyse in depth to reveal, when hypertension and heart disease appear at the same time, VaD dangerous increase is 3 times (RR is 3.8, p =0.0007); When hypertension and diabetes appear at the same time, VaD dangerous increase is 6 times (RR is 6.2, plt; 0.0001).
Dr. Mayeux,etc. summarizes to think, " the relevance between hypertension and VaD is relatively weak, this may relate to the fact that it is relatively common that the old patient erupt blood vessel relevance disease simultaneously. "
