Low Vitamin D Levels Significantly Increase Dementia and Alzheimer's Risk
A meta-analysis of 16 studies found that people with low vitamin D levels (below 20 ng/ml) had a significantly increased risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease; those with levels under 10 ng/ml had a nearly 50 percent higher risk for dementia and 51 percent higher risk for Alzheimer's.

Gum Disease Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
Recent studies reveal a significant link between poor oral health, specifically gum disease, and an increased risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease; the presence of gum disease bacteria has been found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Over 45% of UK adults suffer from gum disease, hig...

Unmarried Individuals Show Lower Dementia Risk in Large-Scale Study
A study of over 24,000 US adults found that divorced or never-married participants had a 34-40% lower risk of developing dementia than married participants over 18 years, challenging previous assumptions about marriage and cognitive health, even after controlling for various health and lifestyle fac...

Sleep Disorders Double Dementia Risk: Large-Scale Study
A large-scale study using over one million electronic health records revealed that individuals with sleep disorders have up to double the risk of developing dementia within 15 years, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's irrespective of genetic predisposition.

HFE Gene Variant Linked to Increased Dementia Risk in Men
A study of 19,114 older adults revealed men with two copies of the H63D variant in the HFE gene have a significantly increased risk of developing dementia; women were unaffected; further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms.

Dietary Changes: An Early Warning Sign for Dementia
Significant dietary shifts, like a lifelong vegetarian suddenly desiring meat, may be early dementia indicators, particularly frontotemporal dementia (FTD) affecting those under 65; this impacts families and increases the already substantial £42 billion annual UK dementia cost.
