Researchers from Monash University in Australia explained that the very high levels of HDL-C were uncommon and not diet related, but more likely to reflect a metabolic disorder.

Slow-wave sleep, or deep sleep, supports the ageing brain in many ways, and we know that sleep augments the clearance of metabolic waste from the brain, including facilitating the clearance of proteins that aggregate in Alzheimer's disease. 

Study shows that when hot flashes occur during sleep, it may be early indicators of a woman's increased risk for Alzheimer's, and, the more hot flashes, the greater the disease risk.

The study found that Kundalini yoga increases activity in a region of the brain impacted by stress and associated with memory decline.

Hormone therapy improves many severe symptoms related to menopause and has been hypothesised to also prevent cognitive impairment.

Dementia is the leading cause of death in elderly Western populations, but no preventative treatments are currently available. More than 55 million people worldwide have dementia, with Alzheimer's disease the most common form.

The researchers found that expected changes in education levels will lead to a decline in dementia prevalence The data was presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference, (AAIC) 2021 in Denver

The sedative nature of benzodiazepines may increase the risk of pneumonia by increasing the aspiration of saliva or food into the lungs, the researchers said.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed 23andMe, a genetic testing company, to market its "controversial" direct-to-consumer tests for assessing the risk for 10 diseases or conditions, including Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease.

There are many reasons for memory loss, including deficiency of vitamin B12, and brain, thyroid, kidney, or liver disorders.

In addition, the activity of the molecules regulating the numbers of microglia correlated with the severity of the disease.

Glutathione deficiencies produce redox changes in brain cells. Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons, which leads to alterations in the oxidation state of atoms and may affect brain metabolism and inflammation.
