Impact of Walking Speed on Cognitive Decline and Dementia Risk

A new study suggests that a slower walking pace could be a sign of cognitive decline or dementia. Researchers assessed over 16,800 healthy individuals over 65 and found a link between declining walking speed and cognitive ability with a higher risk of dementia.

Impact of Ultraprocessed Foods on Brain Health

Eating processed red meat like hot dogs increases dementia risk. Ultraprocessed foods are linked to cognitive decline. Good nutrition with fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats reduces dementia risk. Making small dietary changes can benefit brain health.

Impact of Chronic Knee Pain on Brain Aging

Chronic knee pain, particularly from knee osteoarthritis, has been linked to accelerated brain aging and increased risk of dementia. Research suggests that chronic pain could impact cognitive function and brain health, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention strategies.
