Chronic Pain Linked to Increased Risk of Dementia

Chronic pain linked to increased risk of dementia in study of older adults Published: Wednesday 7 June 2017 Adapted Media Release Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/317805.php Researchers at UC San Francisco have found that older people with persistent pain show quicker declines in memory as they age and are more likely to have dementia years later, an indication that chronic pain could somehow be related to changes in the brain that contribute to dementia.

Exercise to maintain a healthy brain while aging

Exercise to maintain a healthy brain while aging By Yvette Brazier Published Friday 30 October 2015 Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/301629.php  ---  Structural deterioration of the brain associated with old age can be eased by long-term aerobic exercise starting in mid-life, according to research published in PLOS Biology.   Frailty and cognitive decline tend to accompany aging, and exercise is known to combat them. How this works is not completely understood, but the development of dementias such as Alzheimer's disease has been linked with physical inactivity. The risk of dementia increases with age. Age-related cognitive deficits result partly from changes in neuronal function,...
