"Uncovering the Top 3 Risk Factors for Accelerated Brain Aging and Dementia"
A new study published in Nature Communications reveals that specific brain regions vulnerable to aging and dementia are particularly impacted by modifiable risk factors such as diabetes, air pollution, and alcohol consumption. Researchers examined 161 risk factors for dementia and found that these brain regions are most vulnerable to certain genetic variations, cardiovascular deaths, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as the XG blood group antigens. The study sheds light on critical risk factors for dementia and provides valuable information for prevention and targeted intervention strategies.
