Age and gender influence dementia risk
A recent study has shown that metabolic health affects the brain independently of aging, and that metabolic issues such as obesity and blood sugar problems contribute to reduced blood flow to the brain and an increased risk of dementia. The results indicated that the impact of these issues on cognitive abilities is more pronounced in women, with a decline in their performance on tests of flexibility and speed of thinking. This is attributed to hormonal differences and their effects on blood vessels.
