EU Approves First Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Targeting Disease Processes
The European Commission approved Lecanemab, a new Alzheimer's treatment targeting disease processes, for use in the EU; although effective in slowing progression in early stages for a small subset of patients, it is not a cure and its long-term effects remain uncertain.

Cannabis Use Linked to Significantly Increased Dementia Risk
A Canadian study of over six million people found a 72% increased risk of dementia among those hospitalized for cannabis-related issues, exceeding alcohol-related risks; this highlights the need for further research into the long-term effects of cannabis use on cognitive health.

17 Modifiable Risk Factors Linked to Dementia, Stroke, and Late-Life Depression
Harvard researchers found 17 modifiable risk factors shared by dementia, stroke, and late-life depression, with high blood pressure and kidney disease showing the greatest impact; conversely, physical activity and leisure time cognitive activity showed the lowest risk.

Semaglutide Linked to Reduced Dementia Risk in Major Studies
Two large-scale studies suggest that the weight-loss drug semaglutide, found in Wegovy and Ozempic, may significantly lower the risk of developing dementia, offering a potential preventative measure against a condition costing the UK £42 billion annually.

Excessive Alcohol Consumption Linked to Increased Risk of Brain Damage
A study of over 1700 deceased individuals found that drinking eight or more alcoholic beverages weekly significantly increases the risk of hyaline arteriolosclerosis, a brain condition impacting memory and cognition; even former heavy drinkers showed increased risk.

Shingles Vaccine Linked to Reduced Dementia Risk in Women
A UK study published in Nature found that the Varicella Zoster (shingles) vaccine significantly reduced dementia risk in women (20% lower incidence) over seven years, suggesting a link between the virus and dementia and prompting calls for expanded vaccination recommendations.

Boosting Lymphatic System Shows Promise in Preventing Dementia
Researchers have found a potential treatment for cognitive decline that involves boosting the lymphatic system to clear brain waste more efficiently than the body's natural processes, potentially preventing dementia by overcoming the blood-brain barrier.
