Study Links Higher BMI to Vascular Dementia Risk, Identifies Blood Pressure as Key Mediator
A new genetics-based study has confirmed a direct causal link between higher body mass index (BMI) and an increased risk of vascular dementia, with blood pressure acting as a primary mediator, according to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. The study reported that for each standard deviation increase in BMI, the […]

Visceral Fat Linked to Higher Dementia Risk, Study Finds
A large-scale study analyzing health data from more than 327,000 adults in the UK Biobank has found that visceral fat is more strongly associated with dementia risk than traditional measures such as body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference alone, according to a report published online. Over the follow-up period, 8,768 participants developed dementia. The […]

Study: Dementia Risk Factors Affect Women More Strongly Than Men
Nearly two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease patients are women, a disparity that researchers have long sought to explain. A new study published in Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy analyzes data from more than 17,000 adults aged 40 and older to investigate whether common dementia risk factors have a sex-specific impact. The study compared the prevalence and cognitive […]

Magnesium Intake Linked to Larger Brain Volume, Reduced Brain Lesions in Study
Higher dietary magnesium intake is associated with larger brain volume and fewer white matter lesions, according to a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition. The findings suggest that magnesium, a mineral found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and legumes, may play a role in preserving brain structure as people age. Researchers analyzed data […]

Study Links One Night of Sleep Loss to Alzheimer’s-Like Brain Changes
A review of studies by researchers at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria found that even a single night of sleep deprivation can trigger brain changes resembling early Alzheimer’s disease. According to the report published in IBRO Neuroscience Reports, the changes include weakened connections between neurons, inflammation, and accumulation of toxic proteins beta-amyloid and tau. […]

Study Finds Association Between Midlife Vitamin D Levels and Reduced Tau Protein Decades Later
Introduction A long-term study published in April 2026 has found that higher vitamin D levels in midlife are associated with lower levels of tau protein in the brain approximately 16 years later. Tau protein accumulation is considered a key biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. The research, published in Neurology Open Access, followed 793 adults over 16 years […]

Study Links Lifelong Cognitive Engagement to Reduced Alzheimer’s Risk
Study Overview A study published in the journal Neurology in February 2026 followed 1,939 adults with an average age of 80 over eight years. Researchers at Rush University Medical Center measured lifetime cognitive enrichment from childhood to old age. Participants with the highest enrichment had a 38% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared to those […]
