Healthy eating, daily exercise, reducing alcohol consumption, and not smoking not only lead to a longer life, but they can also reduce Alzheimer's risk for those with genetic risk factors.
Older adults who lived a healthier lifestyle not only added years to their life expectancy, they also had a decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease.
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.
Modifying lifestyle to include more healthy options could help to relieve pain symptoms in multiple sclerosis, a new study reports.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle, in particular, a healthy diet was associated with a slower than average decline in memory over ten years in older adults, even those with the APOE4 Alzheimer's associated genetic variant.
Living a healthier lifestyle appears to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in older adults with high genetic risk factors.
A healthy lifestyle may help to increase executive function, a new study reports.
According to a new study, those who are aware they are overweight or obese might gain more weight than those who are unaware of their weight problems.
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.
Those with a genetic predisposition to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can become resilient to the neurodegenerative disease by remaining physically and mentally active.
A new study reports lifestyle choices, such as smoking or drinking alcohol during early adulthood, can increase the risk of developing dementia or having a stroke later in life.
Incorporating simple lifestyle changes, like improving diet, using brain training programs, and exercise may help improve cognition in older adults experiencing cognitive decline.
