Blood pressure resources for patients

The Mind your Health Checks section of this website provides information for the general public on blood pressure and its relationship to dementia risk.

The Heart Foundation has a range of information sheets on blood pressure, including self-measurement and the effects of dietary salt. 

The Stroke Foundation provides information on blood pressure and runs an annual ‘Know your Numbers’ campaign to promote awareness of the importance of checking blood pressure.

For people living in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region of NSW, the Healthy Heart Healthy Mind campaign is providing free community forums and blood pressure checks.  This campaign is working with local organisations to raise awareness of the link between hypertension and dementia risk and encourage people to have regular blood pressure checks.
