New research @BMJMentalHealth 🧠🌿

Cannabis use in older adults was not linked to faster cognitive decline or higher dementia risk in large UK & US cohorts.

Observational & genetic analyses found no evidence that cannabis contributes substantially to cognitive ageing or dementia.

As use rises in later life, ongoing research remains important, especially around dose & long-term exposure.

In this retrospective study from the largest memory clinic in South America we observed a much lower proportion with DLB than has been reported in Europe. This finding needs to be further investigated in prospective studies.

A diagnosis won’t fix everything. But it changes everything. It’s how people access support, plan ahead, & make time count.

It’s also the first step to being part of the research that could find a cure.
