American scientists have revealed that people who become dizzy upon standing may have an increased risk of developing dementia.
The study, conducted by scientists from the University of California and published by the British newspaper The Sun, found that there is a link between dizziness and dementia only in people who suffer from low systolic blood pressure, pointing out that those who suffer from low diastolic blood pressure in general were not at risk.
Dr Lori Roch of the University of California indicated that people's blood pressure should be monitored when they move from sitting to standing, indicating that controlling low blood pressure can be a way to help preserve people's thinking skills and memory as they age.
