A new study by University College London (UCL) researchers found that persistent financial problems, tracked over decades in thousands of Britons, are linked to accelerated age-related cognitive decline and physical brain shrinkage by age 70. Men and individuals with the APOE-ε4 genetic variant appeared more vulnerable.
ブラジルの研究者らが8年間で1万2772人を調査した結果、人工甘味料の摂取量が多いほど記憶力や思考力の低下が速いことが判明。特に60歳未満の成人や糖尿病患者で顕著な関連が見られた。
Donald Trump's verbal stumbles, including referring to Japan as the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and Zelensky as Putin, have fueled questions about his cognitive decline, especially given his age and past criticisms of rivals.
President Trump suggested the U.S.-Iran ceasefire might be over, while the U.S. struck Iran overnight. The IOC provisionally lifted Russia's Olympic Committee suspension, allowing athletes for the 2028 Games. A study found fast walkers in their 80s are 50% less likely to develop cognitive decline.
A new study suggests that older adults (80+) who maintain a fast walking pace, termed "super movers," are significantly less likely to experience cognitive decline compared to their slower-moving peers. This finding highlights the strong connection between physical activity, muscle health, and preserved brain function.
Recent studies from MIT and Microsoft Research indicate that prolonged AI use can lead to reduced brain activity, decreased cognitive connectivity, and a tendency to overestimate one's understanding and abilities. The research suggests a phenomenon termed 'cognitive debt,' where short-term efficiency gains may impair long-term thinking and memory formation.
Researchers developed a nasal spray containing extracellular vesicles to combat age-related chronic brain inflammation and cognitive decline. In trials on mice, the drug reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, improved memory, and restructured immune cells in the brain.
Experts emphasize that mental challenges and new experiences are crucial for brain health, recommending activities like reading, nature, volunteering, games, music, and learning languages to prevent cognitive decline and dementia.
Biogen advances diranersen, an experimental tau-targeting Alzheimer's drug, to Phase 3 trials despite mixed mid-stage results, citing promising signals of tau reduction and slowed cognitive decline.
Research shows caring for 50+ hours weekly accelerates cognitive decline, while 5-9 hours boosts brain health. Carers UK calls findings 'extremely worrying,' highlighting risks of isolation and burnout.
Oral fish oil intake may not improve and could even speed up cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease, a research team from China’s Army Medical University has found. Many older adults are accustomed to taking omega-3 supplements to help protect cognitive function. However, findings from the Chinese study challenge this view. The study was based on an analysis of more than 800 older adults in North America, around half of whom carry the dementia-risk gene APOEε4. The data showed that those...
The poll also revealed that many Americans question the 79-year-old politician’s ability to remain calm and emotionally balanced after a series of harsh statements
