A new research paper was published in Aging (abbreviated as "Aging (Albany NY)" by Medline/PubMed and as "Aging-US" by Web of Science) on the cover of Volume 14, Issue 14, entitled, "Aging the brain: multi-region methylation principal component based clock in the context of Alzheimer's disease."

Excessive daytime napping predicted an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s dementia, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s dementia sped up the increase in daytime napping during aging.

Two types of carotenoids linked with less likelihood of developing dementia over time

Traumatic brain injury even without loss of consciousness may be an important risk factor for late-life cognitive impairment, new research suggests.

Study reveals a bi-directional link between daytime napping and cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say longer, more frequent napping was associated with worse cognition after one year, and worse cognition was linked to longer and more frequent daytime naps.

Extraverts are less likely to experience cognitive decline later in life, whereas individuals with neuroticism have an increased risk for cognitive dysfunction.

Alzheimer disease (AD) dementia may share common pathophysiological mechanisms or be bidirectionally related with excessive daytime napping.
