Dementia
Scientists say stroke, diabetic nerve damage, and dementia are making neurological diseases the biggest cause of ill health globally. According to a recent study00038-3/fulltext#%20) published in the journal Lancet Neurology, researchers from the University of Washington in the US and their international collaborators say neurological conditions now affect 3.4 billion people worldwide. The global counts for total nervous system health loss have increased by 18.2 per cent from 375 million in 1990 to 443 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2021.

In the largest study of its kind, scientists have discovered that a blood test detecting specific proteins could predict dementia up to 15 years before a person receives an official diagnosis. The researchers found 11 proteins that have a remarkable 90% accuracy in predicting future dementia. Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Over 900,000 people in the UK are living with the memory-robbing condition, yet less than two-thirds of people receive a formal diagnosis. Diagnosing dementia is tricky and relies on various methods. These include lumbar punctures (to look for certain telltale proteins...

In the face of an aging global population and the consequent rise in dementia cases, a recent study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging offers hope in understanding and potentially mitigating cognitive decline. The research reveals that individuals with high levels of openness – a personality trait characterized by imagination, curiosity, and a wide range of interests – tend to have a stronger cognitive reserve. This cognitive reserve can protect against the negative impacts of brain pathology, including conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. The stud...

New research has linked a healthier diet to a reduced risk of dementia and a deceleration in the pace of aging. This study, published in the Annals of Neurology, provides new insights into how diet can influence the complex mechanisms of aging and cognitive health. Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It’s not a single disease but rather a general term that covers a wide range of specific medical conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common form of dem...

A study of the PROTECT-UK cohort has revealed that musicality correlates with superior cognitive performance in individuals over the age of 40. The findings indicate that those who play a musical instrument tend to exhibit enhanced working memory and executive function compared to individuals who have never played an instrument or have ceased playing. The paper was published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. Cognitive abilities experience significant changes throughout a person’s lifetime. At birth, an infant’s cognitive abilities are highly limited and only begin to develo...
