Almost 50 more genes have been flagged as being linked to Alzheimer’s, along with changes in activity in crucial cells that ...

In landmark research, scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) have reported the largest-ever genome-wide association study of dementia from ...

These conditions often have complex underlying mechanisms involving genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. "Most studies of dementia genetics use ...

Objective We aimed to investigate the association of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with cognitive function and dementia risk, taking genetic predisposition for dementia into account. Methods Within ...

Having a biological age older than chronological age is associated with a greater likelihood of developing dementia, a new study has shown. By combining measures of biological aging and genetic risk, ...

“Superagers” are people over 80 who are unusually resistant to dementia, with memory and thinking abilities that look more like those of adults in their 50s and 60s. At a time when Alzheimer’s risk ...

*Important notice: Preprints with The Lancet / SSRN publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical ...

A hidden genetic mutation could predict a man’s likelihood of developing dementia. That’s according to an Australian study led by Monash and Curtin Universities, which analyzed the medical data of ...

High fitness was associated with lower dementia risk, even in people with genetic predisposition. Across all age groups between 39 and 70, higher fitness was tied to better cognitive function.
