The Role of Life’s Crucial 9 in Cardiovascular Disease Incidence and Dynamic Transitions to Dementia

The role of Life’s Crucial 9 in cardiovascular disease incidence and dynamic transitions to dementia

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) often coexists with dementia as the contributor to disease burden in the aging population. Although the effects of several modifiable factors on the CVD and dementia risk have been increasingly recognized, their impacts on their dynamic transitions have not yet been explored. Therefore, we aimed to explore the role of Life’s Crucial 9 (LC9; which includes measurements for diet, physical activity, smoking, BMI, choles…

Long-term study ties midlife vascular health to later dementia risk

Dementia before age 80 is potentially preventable through early intervention on common vascular risk factors, according to research led by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Findings suggest that up to 44% of dementia cases could be attributed to vascular risk factors, specifically hypertension, diabetes, or smoking.

Dementia Risk Declining With Each Generation, Says Promising New Study

Dementia cases are on the rise around the world.

Researchers Target Vascular Health, Low-Light Therapy to Combat Alzheimer's Disease

Researchers at UT-Austin are conducting new research on vascular disease and low-light therapy to prevent and reverse dementia before it sets into the brain.
