Dementia
A recent study conducted by investigators in Japan has investigated the relationship between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and dementia risk in older adults. The research, involving 2550 participants aged 73.2 on average, found a significant association between low BMR and increased dementia risk. The study's findings suggest
Dementia
Researchers from Capital Medical University in Beijing, People's Republic of China, have published a new study on neurodegenerative dementia, shedding light on the complex interactions between autoantibodies and cognitive function. The study, published in Neurology and Therapy, explored the clinical characteristics of patients with autoantibody-positive neurodegenerative dementia and
Air pollution
Research conducted by University of Michigan School of Public Health investigators, published in the journal Environment International, reveals a significant association between particulate air pollution and cognitive decline in low-middle-income countries. The study analyzed data from India's Harmonized Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia for the Longitudinal Aging Study in

Dementia
Research from Florida State University College of Medicine suggests that greater life satisfaction is associated with a lower risk of dementia in older adults. The study, which combined data from 15 European countries, found that participants who reported higher life satisfaction levels had a lower risk of developing dementia. The
Cardiovascular diseases
Researchers at Soochow University in China have investigated the relationship between alcohol consumption and dementia risk, using data from the UK Biobank cohort. The study, published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, found that low-to-moderate drinking was associated with a lower risk of incident dementia, regardless of cardiovascular disease risk,
Dementia
According to a recent study published in the journal Neurology, researchers at the Mayo Clinic have identified key clinical features associated with shorter survival in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The study analyzed clinical data from 488 patients with probable DLB, who were followed annually between 1998 and
Computer science
Researchers at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering have made significant strides in developing an early detection system for dementia, a debilitating condition that impairs cognitive abilities and causes memory loss. The AI-powered ensemble model incorporates machine learning and deep learning frameworks, leveraging publicly available datasets to identify dementia
Dementia
A recent study published in the Journal of Innovation in Aging has shed light on the relationship between dementia diagnosis and care costs in Hong Kong. According to the research, individuals with dementia are more likely to incur higher costs in both residential and community care settings. The study, led
Brain
Research published in the journal Experimental Neurology has shed new light on the relationship between blood-brain barrier damage and cognitive impairment in dementia patients. A team of scientists from Peking University Third Hospital developed an animal model of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) using ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction technology. The study
Brunel University
Researchers at Brunel University London have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the complexities of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Through a comprehensive study, they applied neuroanatomical normative modelling to quantify individual atrophy patterns and heterogeneity within and between FTLD forms. The research included 160 participants across FTLDNI and 4RTNI studies,
Accidental falls
Recent research conducted at the University of Bristol has shed light on the association between gait parameters and cognitive decline in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The study enrolled 63 DLB patients and found that gait abnormalities, particularly reduced gait speed and gait asymmetry, are markers of cognitive
