Lifestyle Factors Significantly Impact Age-Related Cognitive Decline
A study of over 700,000 adults reveals that while age-related cognitive decline is normal, lifestyle factors like sleep quality, cardiovascular health, and exercise significantly impact brain health, with some individuals exhibiting exceptional cognitive function comparable to those 30 years younger...

Mid-life Depression Significantly Increases Dementia Risk: Major Study
A major British study of 2.5 million people found a 56% increased risk of dementia in those with persistent depression during mid-life (40s-50s), with late-life depression also significantly linked; researchers suggest early detection and treatment of depression may be crucial in dementia prevention...

Insufficient Deep Sleep Linked to Brain Shrinkage, Accelerating Alzheimer's
A Yale study reveals that insufficient slow-wave and REM sleep shrinks parts of the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease, highlighting the importance of sleep for cognitive health and potentially delaying the onset of the disease.

Heavy Alcohol Consumption Linked to Increased Risk of Brain Damage
A study in Neurology linked weekly consumption of eight or more alcoholic beverages to a 133% higher risk of vascular brain lesions, cognitive decline, and a 13-year shorter lifespan compared to non-drinkers; the risk was also higher for former heavy drinkers.

EU's Slow Drug Approvals Delay Patient Access to Life-Saving Medicines
By 2050, one-third of the EU population will be over 65, underscoring the urgent need for health system modernization. Slower drug approvals (120 days behind the US and Japan) cause a 20-month delay in patient access to new medicines compared to the US, impacting those with cancer, cardiovascular di...

HSV-1 and Alzheimer's Disease: A Correlation Study
A study of 340,000 patients over 50 in the US found an 80 percent increased relative risk of Alzheimer's disease among those with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), while antiviral therapy reduced the risk by 17 percent; however, the study does not establish causation.

Metabolic Syndrome Linked to Increased Early-Onset Dementia Risk
A South Korean study found a 24% increased risk of early-onset dementia in people with metabolic syndrome, rising to 70% with all five conditions; this is significant given that 37% of US adults had metabolic syndrome in 2016, and early-onset dementia cases are rising.

Type 2 Diabetes May Rewire the Brain Like Early-Onset Alzheimer's: Study
Researchers at UNLV found that type 2 diabetes may 'rewire' the brain similarly to early-onset Alzheimer's, impacting the anterior cingulate cortex and impairing reward signals, potentially explaining difficulties in managing the disease.
