Even light exercise may help slow cognitive decline in people at risk for Alzheimer’s: study

Researchers from the University of California San Diego and Wake Forest University have found that both low- and moderate-high-intensity exercise can be effective tools in slowing cognitive decline among people at risk for Alzheimer's disease. The findings, published in two papers in Alzheimer’s and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, are based on the EXERT study (Exercise in Adults with Mild Memory Problems)—a multi-site clinical trial involving sedentary older adults d...

New voice-based approach to enable early detection of Alzheimer’s

Chinese researchers have introduced a groundbreaking voice-based method to address language challenges and enable early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The team, led by Prof. Li Hai at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, noted that with the ageing global population, Alzheimer's is becoming increasingly prevalent, making early detection critical for improving patient outcomes. “Language decline is often one of the earliest indicators of cognitive dec...

Diet has significant impact on risk of Alzheimer’s disease: Research

A detailed study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease highlights the impact of diet on reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The research shows that plant-based diets, such as the Mediterranean diet and traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Indian cuisines, lower the risk of Alzheimer's when compared to Western diets. The study identifies major risk factors for dementia, including high consumption of saturated fats, red meats (like hamburgers and barbeque), processed meats, and ultr...

Diet plays crucial role in Alzheimer’s risk, new study finds

A groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease has revealed the significant impact of diet on the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have identified specific dietary patterns that can either increase or decrease the likelihood of this devastating neurodegenerative condition. The study found that plant-based diets, including the Mediterranean diet and traditional cuisines from China, Japan, and India, can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. In contrast, the W...
