Episode Details

New research from the U.K. reveals a link between biological age, as measured by blood metabolites, and dementia risk. A higher MileAge delta score, indicating a more aged blood profile, is associated with a greater chance of developing dementia, particularly vascular dementia. This connection is even stronger when combined with the APOE gene, a known genetic risk factor for Alzheimers. However, the study suggests that managing factors like cardiovascular health, physical activity, and mental stimulation could help slow down biological aging and potentially delay or prevent dementia. While more research is needed, this study emphasizes the importance of focusing on healthspan, not just lifespan.
