          Night Owls Face Faster Cognitive Decline

          People who naturally stay up late, so-called "night owls", are more likely to experience faster cognitive decline than those who are early risers, according to a long-term study. Researchers found that unhealthy behaviors common in the evening, such as poor sleep, smoking, and drinking, may explain part of this risk.

          Decoding Brain Aging: A 10-Year Study Opens Data for Discovery

          A decade-long brain health study has released its full dataset, offering rare longitudinal insights into how cognition and brain structure change across adulthood. The Dallas Lifespan Brain Study tracked nearly 500 individuals from age 21 to 89 over three timepoints using brain scans, cognitive tests, and health surveys.

          Heart’s Rhythm May Help Forecast Cognitive Longevity

          Healthy hearts show complex, adaptive rhythms that reflect resilience to internal and external changes. Researchers applied a novel method to analyze heart rate complexity using wearable pulse oximeters and found that greater complexity predicted slower cognitive decline in older adults.

          Midlife Hearing Loss Linked to Faster Brain Aging

          A Brazilian study of over 800 adults in their 50s shows that hearing loss is strongly linked to accelerated cognitive decline. Participants with hearing loss experienced faster reductions in memory, language, and executive function over eight years.

          Autistic Traits Don’t Increase Memory Decline in Older Adults

          A large longitudinal study found that older adults with high levels of autistic traits experience no greater decline in spatial working memory than their neurotypical peers. Researchers tracked cognitive performance over seven years in more than 10,000 UK adults aged 50 and older.

          Early Menopause Linked to Greater Risk of Cognitive Decline

          Women who experience menopause before age 40 are more likely to face cognitive decline than those who enter menopause after age 50. The findings, based on longitudinal data from nearly 5,000 women, suggest that early menopause may be an independent risk factor for dementia, even after accounting for depression and other variables. Women with later menopause performed better on memory and orientation tests than men, while hormone replacement therapy showed no significant cognitive effect.

          Heavy Drinking Linked to Brain Lesions and Cognitive Decline Risk

          Consuming eight or more alcoholic drinks per week is associated with brain lesions known as hyaline arteriolosclerosis, which can impair memory and thinking. These lesions are signs of damaged blood vessels that restrict blood flow and gradually harm brain tissue.

          Heart Failure Accelerates Brain Aging

          A large new study reveals that heart failure significantly accelerates cognitive decline, causing affected individuals to mentally age a decade within just seven years of diagnosis. Researchers tracked nearly 30,000 adults and found that heart failure was associated with a sharp drop in cognitive function at diagnosis and a faster decline in global cognition and executive function over time.

          Weight Training May Slow Cognitive Decline and Protect Aging Brains

          A new study shows that weight training not only boosts physical strength but also protects the brains of older adults with mild cognitive impairment. After six months of twice-weekly resistance training, participants showed memory improvements and protection against brain atrophy in regions linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

          A new study shows that just three days of a high-fat diet can cause memory impairments and brain inflammation in older adults, independent of obesity. Researchers compared young and old rats fed a diet with 60% of calories from fat and found that only the older rats showed cognitive decline.

          A new study based on data from 18,740 dementia patients suggests that antidepressants may accelerate cognitive decline. Researchers found that patients taking antidepressants, particularly SSRIs like escitalopram, citalopram, and sertraline, experienced faster deterioration compared to those not on medication.
