Mediterranean Diet Significantly Reduces Type 2 Diabetes and Dementia Risk
Two large-scale studies show a Mediterranean diet combined with moderate calorie restriction and exercise reduces type 2 diabetes risk by 31% and slows cognitive decline, particularly benefiting those with a high genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease.

EMA Conditionally Approves Alzheimer's Drug Donanemab Under Strict Safety Protocols
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) conditionally approved the Alzheimer's drug donanemab (Kisunla) for patients with one or zero copies of a gene linked to increased risk, after initially rejecting it due to the risk of brain swelling and bleeding; the drug will be available only under strict safet...

Mediterranean Diet Reduces Dementia Risk, Especially in High-Risk Individuals
A 34-year study of over 4,000 individuals revealed that adhering to a Mediterranean diet significantly lowers dementia risk, particularly for those with two copies of the APOE4 gene, a major Alzheimer's risk factor.

Misinterpreting Emotions: A Potential Early Warning Sign for Dementia
A University of Cambridge and Tel Aviv University study found that misinterpreting emotions as positive, especially anger, fear, or sadness as positive, may be an early sign of cognitive decline in older adults, potentially preceding memory loss; brain imaging showed related changes in regions assoc...

Childhood Lead Exposure Linked to Increased Dementia Risk in Older Adults
A Canadian study of over 600,000 older US adults revealed a 20% increased risk of memory problems—potentially leading to dementia—in those exposed to high levels of lead during childhood (1960s-70s), primarily due to leaded gasoline and paint, with nearly 90% of that generation having dangerously hi...
