Uncontrolled high BP damages the brain’s structure and function in adults under 50 years, but people can influence their late-life brain health by keeping their BP under control. The study found accelerated brain ageing among hypertensive and prehypertensives in their 40s. Earlier studies have linked high blood pressure with a heightened risk of brain injury and atrophy leading to reduced brain function and a greater likelihood of dementia.
