Risk factors for dementia

Researchers identified key risk factors and genetic influences impacting a specific brain network vulnerable to aging, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. 

This 'weak spot' in the brain is especially susceptible to diabetes, air pollution, and alcohol consumption.

By examining 161 modifiable risk factors in over 40,000 individuals, the study highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to understanding dementia's complexities.
