Someone in the world receives a dementia diagnosis every three seconds. Even though dementia has no known cure, changes in the brain might take place years before dementia is identified.
Now, a groundbreaking study from the Australian Center for Precision Health at the University of South Australia has discovered a connection between metabolism and dementia-related brain measurements, offering important new information about the illness.
examining information from 26,239 British citizens. Researchers from Biobank discovered that those with obesity linked to liver stress, inflammation, or kidney stress had the greatest negative findings in their brains.
Negative MRI profiles with lower hippocampus and grey matter sizes, higher burdens of brain lesions, and higher iron accumulation were more prevalent in people with metabolic profiles connected to obesity.
Dr. Amanda Lumsden, a researcher at UniSA, claims that the study deepens our understanding of brain health.
According to Dr. Lumsden, dementia is a crippling condition that affects more than 55 million individuals globally.
Understanding metabolic parameters and profiles linked to dementia-related brain changes can aid in identifying early dementia risk factors, according to the research.
