Parkinson’s disease dementia develops in people who have a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis.
Experts are interested in finding the best ways to address and prevent Parkinson’s disease dementia.
A randomized clinical trial found that the drug Ambroxol may help stabilize the neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson’s disease dementia, and confirmed the safety of the drug’s use among participants.

Intrinsic capacity is the sum of a person’s mental and physical capacities, and is a measure of aging. Maintaining physical and mental function is a cornerstone of healthy aging. Formerly, assessing intrinsic capacity has been a costly and time-consuming process. Now, researchers have developed a ...

There are several risk factors for dementia, including type 2 diabetes.
A new study reports that semaglutide — the active ingredient in type 2 diabetes and weight loss GLP-1 medications Ozempic and Wegovy — may help lower dementia risk in people with type 2 diabetes.
Researchers say semaglutide targets several dementia risk factors, in addition to being anti-inflammatory, which could explain this benefit.

Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, are an important component of healthy aging.
One study found that vitamin D supplementation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, which happens as people get older, and thus may protect against diseases tied to age and biological aging.
This data adds to the potential protective components of vitamin D, which experts should consider alongside potential risks and additional research.

A recent study found that eating 300 grams of poultry per week was linked to an increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer and death from all causes.
The findings have caused concern among consumers as they challenge traditional beliefs that poultry such as chicken and turkey is a healthier choice of protein.
Medical News Today speaks to experts to investigate whether these findings lack nuance or whether there is a genuine need for more caution regarding diets and cancer risk.

Dementia currently affects more than 57 million people worldwide, and numbers are projected to almost triple over the next 25 years.
Many factors can increase a person’s risk of developing dementia, including age, genetics, vascular diseases and, according to newer research, some viral infections.
One viral infection linked to an increased risk of dementia is shingles, caused when a dormant chicken pox virus reactivates in nerve cells.
New research suggests that vaccination against shingles could reduce the risk of dementia by 20%.
If these findings are verified, shingles vaccination could be a cost-effective way of slowing the rapid increase in dementia cases

There are currently a few tests, including blood tests, that can be used to help diagnose Alzheimer’s and determine which stage the disease is in.
Researchers at WashU Medicine have developed a blood test that can not only help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, but can also provide information to doctors on how far the disease has progressed.
This builds on previous research on a new protein biomarker for tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease

Chronic inflammation is a major driver of lifestyle-related diseases, like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
New research highlights how profoundly a modern Western diet, high in processed foods and low in whole plant-based foods, can contribute to this chronic inflammation.
Experts recommend adopting more traditional, plant-rich diets to reduce inflammation and promote optimal immune function and metabolic health.

Blood clot formation can contribute to life threatening events like strokes and heart attacks.
Experts are interested in ways to decrease people’s risk for blood clots.
A study found that intermittent fasting may help minimize components of the blood clotting process by enhancing the production of indole-3-propionic acid by gut microorganisms.

About 2.9 million people worldwide live with multiple sclerosis (MS).
MS disease severity can worsen over time.
There are several risk factors for MS, including diet and gut health.
A new study conducted in mice suggests that the ratio of two types of bacteria in the gut microbiome may be able to predict disease severity.

Colorectal cancer rates have been rising in children, teens, and young adults in recent years.
Researchers recently studied different types of diets and bacteria to see if the gut microbiome and diet impact the development of colorectal cancer.
The scientists combined three different diets with three different bacterial strains to see what effects — if any — the diets and bacterial strain had on the gut.
They learned that a low carb, low fiber diet combined with a particular strain of Escherichia coli can lead to an increase in polyps in the colon, which can lead to developing colorectal cancer.
