Dementia's Stigmatizing Label: A Call for Alternative Terminology
A speaker at a retirement village prompted a discussion about replacing the stigmatizing term "dementia" with less judgmental medical terms like "major neurocognitive disorder" or the newly proposed "acquired neurocognitive divergency", which mirrors the neurodiversity movement's inclusive language.

Autistic Adults Face Significantly Higher Dementia Risk
Studies reveal autistic adults face up to a threefold increased dementia risk compared to neurotypical adults, even among those under 50; this heightened risk is linked to factors such as higher rates of other conditions (depression, diabetes) and medication use (anticholinergics), with the rising p...

Air Pollution Directly Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
A new study directly links increased dementia risk to specific air pollutants: PM2.5 (17% increase per 10 µg/m³), nitrogen dioxide (3% increase per 10 µg/m³), and soot (13% increase per µg/m³), highlighting inflammation and oxidative stress as key mechanisms. The study also revealed that the dementi...

Air Pollution Strongly Linked to Increased Dementia Risk
A large-scale study published in The Lancet Planetary Health found strong links between long-term exposure to air pollution, specifically fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and black carbon, and increased dementia risk across approximately 30 million people, primarily in high-income countrie...

Donanemab Approved for Early-Stage Alzheimer's with Stricter Guidelines
Donanemab, a new Alzheimer's drug, received conditional approval in Europe, slowing disease progression by up to six months in early stages for patients with mild cognitive impairment and only one copy of the ApoE4 gene, but with risks of brain swelling and bleeding.

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...

7,000 Steps Daily Linked to Reduced Risk of Cancer, Dementia, and Cardiovascular Disease
A study of 160,000 adults revealed that walking 7,000 steps daily significantly reduces risks of cancer death (37%), dementia (38%), and cardiovascular disease (25%), compared to 2,000 steps, suggesting a more attainable health goal than the 10,000 step target.
