WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- People who have heart disease risk factors in middle age, including diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking Terrance Williams Cowboys Jersey , are at higher risk for dementia later in life, a large, long-term U.S. study suggested Monday.
The study, led by Rebecca Gottesman, professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins University Cole Beasley Cowboys Jersey , and published in the U.S. journal JAMA Neurology, analyzed the data of 15,744 people who participated in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, a project designed to investigate the causes and effects of the hardening of the arteries.
Participants, who were black or white Travis Frederick Cowboys Jersey , were aged 45 to 64 years whey they were recruited between 1987 and 1989.
Over an average follow-up of 23 years, they underwent a battery of medical examinations that included cognitive tests of their memory and thinking.
During that time, 1,516 participants were diagnosed with dementia.
Initially, when they analyzed the influence of factors recorded during the first exams about 25 years ago Zack Martin Cowboys Jersey , the researchers found that the chances of dementia increased most strongly with age followed by the presence of APOE4, a gene associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Blacks were also found to have higher chance of dementia than whites and those who did not graduate from high school were also at higher risk.
What's more important, an analysis of vascular risk factors showed that participants who had diabetes or high blood pressure, also called hypertension, had a higher chance of developing dementia.
In fact Tyron Smith Cowboys Jersey , diabetes was almost as strong a predictor of dementia as the presence of the APOE4 gene.
The researchers also found a link between dementia and prehypertension, a condition in which blood pressure levels are higher than normal but lower than hypertension.
And race did not influence the association between dementia and the vascular risk factors they identified, according to the study.
In addition, smoking cigarettes exclusively increased the chances of dementia for whites but not blacks.
"Our results contribute to a growing body of evidence linking midlife vascular health to dementia," said Gottesman. "These are modifiable risk factors. Our hope is that by addressing these types of factors early Demarcus Lawrence Cowboys Jersey , people can reduce the chances that they will suffer from dementia later in life."

Everything About Valves April 21, 2013 | Author: John Gan | Posted in Marketing
A mechanical valve performs an vital function in all aspects of mechanical instruments.
The ball valve is formed like that of a ball and some comes in a spherical form. These sorts of valve are mostly seen in faucets at house, workplaces and in every establishment wherein water is required badly but then it solely has to be opened when getting used and not to let the water move freely.
A ball valve has a spherical disc by which it manages something to move through it. It contains of an entire and a port that when it is in line on each ends, the valve is opened and circulate happens so as when the flow is blocked, this means that when the hole is at its proper angle Jason Witten Cowboys Jersey , it solely means that the valve is closed.
Ball valves can last more and are sturdy and perfectly seals down tighter even if it takes a few years of not being opened or used. It is therefore an ideal alternative in to use in all shut off operations.
One other sort of mechanical valve is the gate valve. The function of the valve is considerably much like that of the ball valve but gate bulbs are used to open big wedge or gates. The first function of the gate valve is to seal surfaces among the seats and gates are planar.
