In turn, damage to vessels can damage brain and nerve cells, making it more likely to develop dementia.<br \/>\nPeople with high blood pressure can improve their lifestyle by keeping their blood pressure at around 140 mmHg\/90 mmHg (home blood pressure 135 mmHg\/85 mmHg) or less for health management and dementia prevention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Japan (as of 2015), the total number of patients with hypertension amounts to over 10 million individuals with men at 4.45 million and women [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2431,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2444"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2457,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444\/revisions\/2457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neu-brains.site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
