CAA study published in Neurology Open Access tracked over 12,400 individuals aged 55 who remained dementia-free for an average of 26 years. The research found that avoiding smoking, high blood pressure, and Type 2 diabetes could potentially delay dementia onset by up to 13 years. Participants without any of these risk factors lived nearly 13 years longer without dementia compared to those with all three. Those with one risk factor gained about 26.3 additional dementia-free years, while those with two gained around 21 years. The study emphasized that cumulative vascular risks significantly impact dementia-free survival. Additional research highlighted potential benefits of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy in reducing dementia risk, as well as the negative effects of alcohol consumption on cognitive health.
