Doctors told about the effects of high pressure at an early age

Bull of our time-increased blood pressure need to be monitored in childhood, doctors believe.

in Childhood. Nowadays, children and adolescents aged 8 to 17 years of age are raised by 27% more often than ten years ago. Scientists associate this with the influence of sodium, which is found in all kinds of foods with lots of salt that are actively consumed by modern children.

Increased pressure is called a “quiet murderer”, but often hypertension develops without any symptoms for many years, which leads to sad consequences. Experts from the American Pediatric Association recommend that doctors regularly check pressure in children and adolescents – no less than in older people. Suffering from high blood pressure, children show early signs of cardiovascular disease, they are characterized by an increased risk of obesity, disability and mortality.

After 20 years. Scientists at the Institute of Neurobiology and Cognitive Sciences of the Max Planck (Germany) have found that increasing pressure at this age beats the gray matter, contributing to reducing its volume. They observed participants whose average age was 27 years. It turned out that the people whose blood pressure increased, overcoming the 120/80 mm Hg mark. Art. The gray matter of the brain was constantly decreasing, while reducing the volumes of areas such as hippocampus, tonsil, thalamus, frontal and parietal particles of the brain. London's University College concluded that by the age of 30 years of age, it is possible to predict The probable development of dementia in older age. Thus, scientists say, long -term high blood pressure at an early age is a marker of dementia – the result of this process is the destruction of the brain. up to 70 years old. In addition, there are voids in the white matter of the brain, which according to scientists and leads to deterioration of cognitive functions and further development of dementia.

after 40 years. that chronically increased pressure at this age is associated with a high risk of damage to blood vessels and the development lead to disability but have a destructive effect on the brain and ultimately on cognitive functions.
