According to a new study, each contributing to the risk of a person’s dementia and cardiovascular health. The study was conducted by US researchers including Sudha Seshadri, MD and Claudia Satizabal, PhD, of the Texas University Medical Center in San Antonio (Ut Health San Antonio). It is done over 1,211 people participating in the heart of Tim Framingham and related to collaborators from the University of Boston. The research is emphasized as follows:
- Participants with high genetic risk points are based on common genetic variants, including an allele called Apolipoprotein E (APOE) E4, which is 2.6 times higher than that of dementia than. For objects with low risk scores and do not carry APOE Alele E4.
- Having favorable heart health, according to the definition of an indicator of the American Heart Association, is related to the risk of dementia is 0.45 times lower than the bad heart health, Research also shows.
“The relationship between cardiovascular health and brain health becomes more clear with each finding,” said Dr.seshadri, a senior investigator in the study of heart FRAMINGHAM, said. She is a nerve professor at Long Medical School, Ut Health San Antonio, and the founding director of Alzheimer Hospital and neurodegenerative disease. “We hope that the result of this study will send the public a message and the message that is exercise, reduce stress and eat a healthy diet. , you are likely to reduce the risk of dementia, “” Dr. Seshadri said. “It is imperative to start today. It seems that, from our findings, that there is favorable heart health to minimize the risk of dementia in people with high risk of genetics, “said Dr. Satizabal, assistant professor of science. Population health and investigator of the Biggie Institute, said.
