Their research shows that the combination of short sleep (&lt;5hours\/night) and hypertension is associated with worse cognitive performance (executive function\/processing speed) and brain injury (higher white matter volume). The causality is unclear. The combo of short sleep and high blood pressure may lead to subclinical cerebrovascular injury leading to cognitive impairment. Further research needs to be conducted to confirm results and to examine this interaction more completely. Sleep problems and hypertension are treatable and high-risk groups could be targeted for prevention trails.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<div id=\"attachment_2584\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2584\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2584\" src=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/gainesville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/thflalzh2-300x300.webp\" alt=\"Alzheimer's Care Gainesville FL - Alzheimer's Association International Conference\u00ae (AAIC) Highlights\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/gainesville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/thflalzh2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/gainesville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/thflalzh2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/gainesville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/thflalzh2-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/gainesville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/07\/thflalzh2.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alzheimer&#8217;s Care Gainesville FL &#8211; Alzheimer&#8217;s Association International Conference\u00ae (AAIC) Highlights<\/p><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">If you have questions about Alzheimer\u2019s or other dementia, please call the Alzheimer\u2019s Association 24\/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/alz.org\">alz.org<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">The Alzheimer\u2019s Association TrialMatch\u00ae connects individuals living with Alzheimer\u2019s, caregivers and healthy volunteers to clinical trials.
