A recent study published in theInternational Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry reveals a significant link between depression and an increased risk of developing dementia. Conducted over 15 years, the study found that people with depression at the start of the study were 74% more likely to develop dementia than those without depression. Additionally, the onset of dementia occurred about two years earlier in individuals with depression. These findings underscore the importance of early detection and treatment of depression to potentially prevent future cognitive decline. The global population is a...

Wildfire smoke exposure may increase the risk of dementia more than other types of air pollution, according to a new study. The research findings were reported at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in the US. Wildfire smoke contains fine particles known as PM2.5, which are about 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. They can be inhaled deep into the lungs, move to the bloodstream, and can cause or worsen heart and lung diseases. The latest research adds to evidence these particles may play some role in dementia, too. Researchers tracked health records from 1.2 m...

Blood tests for Alzheimer's disease aim to help doctors diagnose the condition more quickly and accurately but are mostly used in controlled research settings. A new Swedish study shows their reliability in real-world healthcare settings as well. The study of more than 1,200 patients experiencing mild memory symptoms found that a blood test for Alzheimer's had 90 per cent reliability in primary care. Alzheimer's can be cumbersome to diagnose, requiring a hard-to-get brain scan or an uncomfortable spinal tap. Many patients are diagnosed based on symptoms and cognitive exams. In the Swedish stud...

Some people have the biological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s – proteins called amyloid and tau that gum up the brain – but have no disease symptoms. Researchers suggest that this could be because some people build up a “cognitive reserve”70191-6/abstract) – the brain’s ability to find new ways to handle and overcome problems. People with greater cognitive reserve seem to be better at staving off dementia symptoms, but when stress levels are high or persistent, they can weaken this reserve by making it less likely that they will socialise and less likely that they will be physically active – both o...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine and the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging have uncovered promising findings regarding the effects of intermittent fasting and a standard healthy diet on brain health in older adults with obesity and insulin resistance. Their study, published in Cell Metabolism, found that both diets led to improvements in cognition, with intermittent fasting showing slightly stronger benefits. As people live longer, the prevalence of conditions like Alzheimer’s and related dementias is expected to rise, posing significant challenges for individual...
