Blood sugar swings linked to poorer thinking in some adults

Among adults with high blood pressure, greater blood sugar variability was linked to a 0.12 lower combined thinking-test score, comparing the highest and lowest thirds.Among adults with high blood pressure, greater blood sugar variability was linked to a 0.12 lower combined thinking-test score, comparing the highest and lowest thirds.

Disadvantaged neighborhoods tie to lower brain vascular function

In 132 older adults, greater neighborhood deprivation was associated with lower whole-brain cerebrovascular reactivity, independent of traditional vascular risks and…In 132 older adults, greater neighborhood deprivation was associated with lower whole-brain cerebrovascular reactivity, independent of traditional vascular risks and Alzheimer's pathology.

Impaired glucose tolerance is tied to higher stroke risk

Impaired glucose tolerance carried a hazard ratio of 1.58 and diabetes 1.69 for first stroke compared with normal tolerance, while mortality showed no link.Impaired glucose tolerance carried a hazard ratio of 1.58 and diabetes 1.69 for first stroke compared with normal tolerance, while mortality showed no link.

Brain small vessel disease links to stroke and mortality risk

Compared with a zero score, participants with cerebral small vessel disease scores of 1 and 2 had hazard ratios of 1.48 and 1.52 for adverse events.Compared with a zero score, participants with cerebral small vessel disease scores of 1 and 2 had hazard ratios of 1.48 and 1.52 for adverse events.
