Discovering New Frontiers in Dementia Research: Unveiling Risk Factors for Early-Onset Alzheimer's. Recent research has identified unexpected risk factors such as social isolation and depression, as well as recognized dangers such as Vitamin D deficiency and high c-reactive protein. Addressing these modifiable factors could prevent up to 30-40% of early-onset cases, improving lives and reducing the strain on global healthcare systems. This study not only provides light on underexplored forms of dementia, but it also emphasizes the critical necessity for preventive therapies. Together, we can have a tremendous influence on families and society.

⚜️Lewy body dementia is the second most prevalent form of dementia, following Alzheimer's disease. Nerve cells in the brain develop protein deposits known as Lewy bodies. The brain regions that are involved in movement, memory, and thought are impacted by the protein deposits. This condition is also referred to as dementia with Lewy bodies. ⚜️Lewy body dementia results in a progressive deterioration of cognitive abilities. Lewy body dementia may cause individuals to perceive objects that are not present. Visual hallucinations are the term used to describe this phenomenon. Additionally, they may experience fluctuations in their attention and alertness. ⚜️People who have Lewy body dementia may experience symptoms of Parkinson's disease. These symptoms may encompass tremors, sluggish movement, rigid muscles, and difficulty walking.

Join us for a panel discussion with Dr. Rebecca Edelmayer of the Alzheimer's Association along with Dr. Sakina Ouedraogo Tall and Dr. Arjun V. Masurkar of NYU Langone Health. They will discuss findings from the 2024 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures Report, health equity, emerging dementia and brain health research, and treatments including both medication and lifestyle changes. https://bit.ly/3JEdzl8

🌟Vascular dementia is a general term that refers to cognitive impairments, including memory, reasoning, planning, and judgement, that are the result of impaired blood flow to the brain. 🌟Vascular dementia may arise as a result of a stroke that obstructs an artery in the brain; however, strokes do not necessarily induce vascular dementia. The extent to which a stroke impacts your thinking and reasoning is contingent upon the severity and location of the stroke. Other conditions that impair blood vessels and reduce circulation, depriving your brain of vital oxygen and nutrients, can also lead to vascular dementia. 🌟The likelihood of vascular dementia is also increased by factors that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking. You may reduce your risk of developing vascular dementia by managing these factors.
