Facial Wrinkles May Indicate Early Dementia Risk, Study Finds
Research from Fudan University suggests that facial wrinkles, particularly crow's feet, may be an early indicator of dementia, with individuals having more wrinkles being 2.5 times more likely to experience cognitive decline. The study, published in Alzheimer's Research and Therapy, involved analyzing data from 200,000 people and found that those perceived as looking older than their age had a higher risk of developing dementia. The findings propose a link between facial aging and cognitive health, potentially influenced by factors like sun exposure.
