Links between cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline may begin in midlife before the first clinical symptoms of either condition appear, cross-sectional data from a cohort study suggested.
Middle-age cardiovascular risk largely driven by hypertension was associated with brain hypometabolism, an imaging marker of neurodegeneration, according to Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, of Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid, Spain, and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, and colleagues.
Subclinical carotid plaque burden also was tied to reduced brain metabolism independent of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking, they reported in the When brain metabolism declines, the brain s ability to handle adverse events can be compromised. Depending on the brain area affected, this can lead to a range of distinct problems, co-author Marta Cortes-Canteli, PhD, also of CNIC, said in a statement.

Hypertension had strongest link to midlife brain hypometabolism
What’s good for the heart is ultimately good for the brain, data from a prospective cohort study showed. The researchers noted that midlife cardiovascular risk especially hypertension in asymptomatic patients was tied to middle-age brain hypometabolism in areas known to be affected by dementia.
Subclinical carotid plaque burden was also associated with reduced brain metabolism independently of the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking reported Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, of Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares in Madrid, Spain, and co-authors.
“The findings presented here suggest that the interplay between cardiovascular risk factors, atherosclerosis, and altered brain metabolism starts early in life,” they wrote in the

The concept, inspired by the likes of YouTuber David Dobrik, is partly aimed at attracting attention for the new company but is also setting the stage for a forthcoming business model of sorts, where brands could participate in giveaways more directly.
The idea of brand and cash giveaways is not a new one, of course. Outside of social media personalities and traditional sweepstakes like Publishers Clearing House, the mobile game HQ Trivia more recently had tried to integrate brand giveaways in an attempt to draw players to its live trivia games. But HQ Trivia couldn’t maintain an audience after the novelty wore off and eventually shut down, after also dealing with internal strife and tragedy.
