CASE STUDY High blood pressure and shorter sleep may worsen brain decline

By Bench Side Story — 1 year ago

People with high blood pressure who also lack sleep may be at increased risk of reduced cognitive performance and greater brain injury, Monash University research has found.

Published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers assessed whether the combined effect of hypertension and short sleep duration had a negative impact on brain health.
