“A recent study found that certain household chemicals, widely used for personal hygiene, cleaning, and disinfecting, may pose an unexpected risk for cognitive decline** in older adults. Researchers analyzed data from a large cohort study of adults over 65.”

“The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional signaling pathway between the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system, plays key roles in human health. Key elements of this pathway are the tens of trillions of microbes that comprise the intestinal microbiota, the composition of which likely changes with age.”

“The dominant bacteriophages in the human gut are those of the Caudovirales and Microviridae families. The study involved more than 1,000 adult participants enrolled in the Ageing Imagenoma Project, an ongoing study of aging patterns among healthy adults (50 years and older) living in Girona, Italy.”

“Further analysis revealed that sex, cognitive status, and APOE4 status influenced the extent of vitamin D's effects on dementia risk. For example, females, people with normal cognitive function, and those who did not carry the APOE4 gene variant seemed to gain greater protection against dementia.”

“Researchers analyzed data from 890 adults aged 55 and older. Participants reported their egg consumption using a food frequency questionnaire, and researchers measured their memory and thinking skills at two clinic visits about four years apart.”

“Obesity has long been associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, but scientists don't fully understand what drives this link. However, some research indicates that leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite and body weight, may be vital in protecting brain health.”

“Pregnant women that were given twice the RDA for choline (930 mg/day) during their third trimester had children with cognitive benefits including faster information processing speeds compared to women given 480 mg/day, which is the RDA.”
