[Cambridge University @Cambridge_Uni]

Researchers from @psychiatry_ucam have discovered why living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood is linked to an increase in dementia risk.

@_audreylow and @ProfJTOBrien found it was linked to damage to brain vessels – which can affect cognition – and poorer management of lifestyle factors known to affect dementia risk, such as diet, sleep and physical activity.

🧠New @AD_PREVENT study out today in @alzdemjournals

Neighbourhood disadvantage is linked to poorer cognition - via modifiable lifestyle factors and poorer brain vessel health.

Dementia prevention has to address structural barriers to healthy living.

Looking forward to presenting tomorrow at #AAIC25! I’ll be sharing results from @AD_PREVENT on
“Disadvantaged neighbourhoods, modifiable risk factors, and cerebral small vessel disease”

31 July, Thur, 9am
Room 801
5-6-FRS-D: Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment II

[Audrey Low @_audreylow]

The most encouraging #AAIC25 results so far:

🔔 The #POINTER study shows improved cognition in both lifestyle intervention groups over 2 years - w/ greater gains in structured group.

Lifestyle interventions incl:
🏃‍♀️ Physical activity
🍽️ Diet
🧠 Cognitive + social engagement

Save the date!

Calling all researchers in the field of vascular research in brain disorders, incl Alzheimer's, vascular dementia.

#VasCog2025 will be in Southamptom UK from 15-18 Sep.

Registration and abstract submission opening soon. Stay tuned for more details.

After 5 amazing yrs at @Cambridge_Uni, I've officially moved to @MayoClinic!

Grateful for mentors, colleagues & friends who made Cambridge unforgettable and excited to join another stellar team at Mayo & @racingdementia to research cerebrovascular health in #dementia resilience

Grateful to be interviewed by @sciam to discuss the important findings of our recent @AD_PREVENT study in @JAMANetworkOpen on the implications of even mild traumatic brain injuries #TBI

Our latest paper in @JAMANetworkOpen shows that even mild #TBI in the community relate to neuroimaging & clinical deficits (#sleep #depression #memory) as early as #midlife

AND masks important (vascular) correlates of microbleeds #CMB

@AD_PREVENT @OAP_ucam @psychiatry_ucam

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

In this study of healthy middle-aged adults, detectable changes in brain imaging and clinical features were associated with remote, even mild, TBI in the general population. https://t.co/ayG0DPJMOr @_audreylow @ProfJTOBrien @willstewneuro

[Audrey Low @_audreylow]

The implications are far-reaching. We discuss the relevance of our findings to research, clinical care, and the prevention of TBI & dementia at the individual & societal level. There is so much to takeaway and I hope you gain as much from this work as I have from writing it.

[Ľudka Kučíková @Lud_Kuc]

In @AD_PREVENT we all have one mission but we do it from different places. All of us meeting in person is rare! So having an extra chance to spend some in person time with colleagues turned friends (looking at you @_audreylow ) is amazing! These are #AAIC2024 #aaic24 reunions!
