People suffering from hypertension is four times larger than the others at risk of becoming a victim of brain tumors. That is the conclusion reached by researchers from Austria, Norway and Sweden.
The joint work of leading European scientists has shown that the suffering of the high blood pressure people are at risk because of the risk of brain tumors. In general, the risk in people with the highest pressure grows twice as compared with those with the lowest observed.
However, in some patients with meningioma Suffer from hypertension and this danger is increased by four times. Such conclusions were made based on observations of 580 thousand people in 10 years. Scientists have closely followed the performance of blood pressure in these people, as well as those to be seen whether some of them are a victim of a brain tumor.
About a third of the study participants was observed hypertension. By the end of follow-up, 1312 people had been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and in a third of patients showed the most dangerous form of it, prone to metastasize. 20% of study participants suffering from hypertension, twice as likely to become victims of meningioma or malignant meningioma. These types of brain cancer are the most common.
For victims meningioma in which tumor cells grow from dura (tissue surrounding the brain), the risk of developing cancer in the presence of high blood pressure I grew fourfold.
These studies are published in the latest issue of Journal of Hypertension.
