Mild Cognitive Impairment, or MCI, is a disorder that is frequently the harbinger of Alzheimer’s and other dementia diseases.

Recently, researchers have found a direct link between high blood pressure and MCI.

This is especially disturbing since more than 50% of people over 50 have high blood pressure.

Researchers at Emory University’s School of medicine looked at study participants across two years. Their memory skills were tracked alongside blood pressure readings.

What the researchers found was that in people who had at least two or more readings indicating hypertension, or high blood pressure, their cognitive and memory skills declined more than their non-hypertensive counterparts.

More than 1300 people were followed for the two-year study, and those with the highest blood pressure were the ones whose declines in performance on standard psychological exams were the greatest.

The study underscores the importance of getting chronic high blood pressure under control early, and keeping it at healthy levels.
