“A study from 2024 concluded that among all modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was the single best predictor of future risk, second only to age overall.”

“Other contributors to inflammaging are cellular debris from normal cell death and the accumulation of metabolic byproducts, such as amyloid-beta proteins, which are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.”

“These gaps allow pathogens like bacteria or endotoxins (toxins that are released when bacteria die) to leak through the intestinal wall and pass directly into the bloodstream. Leaky gut has been linked with a number of chronic diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease.”

“Dietary consumption of omega-3 rich foods such as fish is associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, while low blood levels of DHA are associated with smaller brain volume, a hallmark of cognitive decline.”

“Chronic sleep deprivation, a risk factor for cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s diseases, is common among adults in industrialized nations, with many reporting less than seven hours of sleep each night during the workweek.”

“These findings suggest that early life UV exposure reduces the risk of developing MS. Although these findings were based on observational data and do not assign causality, the authors of the study pointed out that they align with results of other studies suggesting that low UV exposure is associated with other neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease…”

“After the mice that had had surgery recovered, the investigators assessed all the animals' cognitive performance via a maze test, measured IL-6 in the animals' blood, and quantified proteins involved in maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity in the animals' brains.”

“For instance, evidence suggests that drinking five to six cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while drinking three to five cups may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, compared to drinking none at all.”

“Hypertension is also a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, due to damage caused by years of vessel injury, microbleeds, and lesions. Authors of a recent study report that hypertension diagnosed in early or midlife, but not late life, is a predictor of dementia.”

“Failures in mitophagy are associated with several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and Alzheimer’s disease The study involved 88 healthy adults (40 to 65 years old) who had overweight.”
