AHA Connects Cardiovascular Health Factors to Brain and Cognitive Well-being

A new review article in the Journal of the American Heart Association highlights that the AHA's "Life's Essential 8" factors, originally for heart health, also significantly contribute to optimal brain and cognitive function. The research underscores a strong connection between cardiovascular and cognitive health. It notes that many risk factors for heart disease are also modifiable risks for Alzheimer's and related dementias.
