Technology Use Linked to Lower Risk of Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
A meta-analysis of 57 studies involving over 400,000 older adults found that technology use is associated with a 42% lower risk of cognitive impairment, contradicting the 'digital dementia hypothesis'.

Paternal Alzheimer's Linked to Increased Risk in Children
Research from McGill University reveals a link between fathers with Alzheimer's and increased tau protein spread in their children's brains, potentially increasing their risk of developing the disease, challenging previous assumptions about gender's role and highlighting the substantial economic bur...

Shingles Vaccine Linked to Lower Dementia Risk
A Welsh study published in Nature found a 3.5% lower dementia risk in individuals who received the shingles vaccine compared to those who didn't, suggesting that viral infections might play a more significant role in dementia than previously thought.

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.

Statins May Reduce Alzheimer's Risk by a Third: Landmark Study
A South Korean study of 570,000 people found that low LDL cholesterol levels, especially when achieved with statins, reduced the risk of Alzheimer's by 28% and an additional 12% respectively, suggesting statins may protect against the disease by reducing brain cholesterol.

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.

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.
