Cholesterol and high blood pressure is one factor increasing the risk of heart disease. But, did you know that two of cardiovascular disorders it also increases the risk of early memory loss and other cognitive problems?
"We found that cardiovascular risk in middle age is associated with lower cognitive function," said Sara Kaffashian, one of the team of researchers from INSERM, the French Institute for Health and Medical Research in Paris, as quoted from Aol.
Conclusion that the research will be presented at the annual meeting of the 'American Academy of Neurology' 63rd in Honolulu, 9-16 April 2011 that involved 3486 men and 1314 women with an average age of 55 years.
The research team asked participants underwent three cognitive tests over a period of 10 years. Tests ranging from reasoning, memory strength, until smooth vocabulary. These are then analyzed with cardiovascular conditions by age, gender, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, smoking history, and history of diabetes.
The result, those with lower cognitive test scores tended to have higher risk of heart disease 10 percent higher.

Kaffashian said the study was conducted to identify and treat risk factors for cardiovascular disorders.
"Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and diligent exercise, early on not only prevent strokes and heart disease but retain cognitive function," he said. "Evidence from clinical and pathology showed that treating hypertension reduces the risk of dementia.
