Western Diet Linked to Increased Depression in Over 45s

Western Diet Linked to Increased Depression in Over 45s Researchers at UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) have revealed new insight into the connection between nutrition and depression in adults aged 45 years and older. The review, published in Ageing Research Reviews, indicates a beneficial relationship between higher intakes of vegetables and fruits and lower incidence of depression, with a higher risk of depression for those that consumed a predominantly western diet or foods that increase inflammation in the body, such as refined carbohydrates, fried foods and red meat. Depression currently affects 264 million people globally and is the third leading burden of disease. When compared with younger adults, depression in older adults is linked to poorer physical and cognitive performance- and ultimately may impact on a person’s ability to live independently.

Funding Success to Identify Early Stages of Dementia

Funding Success to Identify Early Stages of Dementia Senior Research Fellow Dr Simone Reppermund and colleagues from UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) have been awarded close to $1.3 million to develop an online tool designed to assist in the identification of early stages of dementia. The funding, awarded by the NHMRC Medical Research Future Fund, will allow for the development, validation and implementation of a new, computerised diagnostic tool to assess instrumental activities of daily living in older people with cognitive impairment. Instrumental activities of daily living are complex everyday activities necessary to live independently such as shopping or managing medications and finances.

Funding Success - World Class Research Project Grants

Funding Success – World Class Research Project Grants Professor of Nursing at UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA), Professor Lynn Chenoweth, has been awarded $600,000 as one of five World Class Research Project Grants by the Dementia Centre for Research Collaboration (DCRC). Her project will address the fact that hospital care of people living with dementia is complicated and challenges staff to meet the needs of each individual. Professor Chenoweth, who is also Adjunct Professor in the School of Nursing, University of Notre Dame Australia and School of Nursing, Macau, China, says that “people living with dementia can have particularly difficult experiences including agitation, delirium and falls, in busy and unfamiliar hospital environments.
