Did you know that just under one in five respondents (19%) to the 2014 Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey were aware that high blood pressure increases the chances of getting dementia?

Further information on the survey results are available in the Research Update Dementia: look closer, by Elizabeth Byrne McCullough and Paula Devine.  Full information on the questions on dementia is available on the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey website.
