The link between smoking, high blood pressure and dementia
Middle-age individuals who smoke, have high blood pressure, or have diabetes run a high risk of being hospitalized for dementia later in life.
That's according to a research study of more than 11,000 people, led by Alvaro Alonso, a University of Minnesota epidemiologist.
Alonso adds that this research provides one more reason why people should quit smoking and concentrate on improving their cardiovascular health.
