Description
Cassandra Morrison, Michael Oliver, Farooq Kamal, and Mahsa Dadar studied blood pressure and brain health in a 2025 paper. High blood pressure is known to harm memory and thinking with age. Far less is known about blood pressure that swings up and down over time, so the team compared normal, high, and variable groups.
They drew on two large studies of older adults, with thousands of people and many follow up visits. Adults with variable pressure lost thinking skills fastest and lost more gray matter. Both variable and high groups showed more brain damage after death. The authors urge better care of unstable pressure to help protect the brain.
