Diabetes, high blood pressure in middle age linked to brain damage

Past studies have linked diabetes to increased risk of cognitive decline. Now, new research suggests that people who develop diabetes and high blood pressure in middle age may be at higher risk of brain cell loss and memory and thinking problems, compared with those who do not have either condition or develop them later in life.The research team, including Rosebud O. Roberts of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, recently published their findings in the journal Neurology.
