Genetically Raised Pulse Pressure Predisposes to Dementia-Linked Death
A study published in Neurology indicates that genetic variants associated with high pulse pressure are linked to an increased risk of dementia-related death. The research highlights the intersection of cardiometabolic health and neurodegenerative disease.
Why it matters
Identifying these genetic links could improve early risk assessment and preventative care for dementia patients.
People who carry a higher number of genetic variants for increased pulse pressure may be at increased risk of having dementia as a contributing factor in their deaths, research suggests.
