The genes GRB10 and ABTB1 are influential in nutrient-sensing pathways and memory. Researchers say these genes may be the molecular links between diet, neural stem cell aging, and cognitive ability.
A new machine learning study has revealed a novel combination of factors that can increase a person's risk of developing dementia.
Researchers report more people are dying from neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease now than twenty years ago. By contrast, the number of deaths from cancer and heart disease in the elderly has dropped.
Making small lifestyle changes, such as improving diet, exercising, enjoying social activities, and reducing blood pressure, can reduce the risk of developing dementia in older people with certain risk factors.
Incorporating simple lifestyle changes, like improving diet, using brain training programs, and exercise may help improve cognition in older adults experiencing cognitive decline.
A new review reports on associations between birth defects in offspring and its father's age, alcohol use and other environmental factors.
Adults over 80 who maintained a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and diet, had a lower risk of cognitive decline, even if they had genetic risk factors for dementia.
Study reports modifying twelve risk factors over your lifetime could reduce dementia risk by 40%.
While genetics may increase your risk of developing dementia, other factors such as lifestyle and environment may play a key role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have released data from the world's largest brain and body scanning study.
Living a healthier lifestyle appears to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in older adults with high genetic risk factors.
A panel of world experts in aging recommend everyone over 70 have annual evaluations of their memory and reasoning abilities.
