"Gut Bacteria's Role in Alzheimer's Risk Explored"

A study from McGill University suggests a potential link between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in people aged 50 and above. Analyzing health data of over four million UK residents, the study found that those with symptomatic H. pylori infection had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s. The research highlights the need to investigate potential prevention strategies, including eradicating H. pylori, to address the growing prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease globally.
