Researchers have linked high blood pressure to dementia in older people...now News Radio 590 KLBJ's Diann Hodges reports UT scientists are turning to hispanic volunteers to figure out what can be done about it.  UT research assistant Danniel Egan says hispanics seem to have a resistance when it comes to the treatment of high blood pressure and that could be for many reasons.   Egan says they're paying hispanic volunteers between the ages of 40 and 60 125 dollars to undergo a cognitive assessment, cardiovascular screening and an MRI to get a baseline of brain function...to see how high blood pressure affects that later in life.
