Ignoring High Blood Pressure After 60? Study Warns of a 42% Increase in Dementia Risk
Conclusion
The study brings to light startling data: untreated high blood pressure in people over 60 raises their risk of dementia by 42%.
It’s a finding that shouldn’t be ignored, considering the societal burden dementia poses.
Even when compared to individuals with treated hypertension, the risks remain elevated.
In essence, this compelling study highlights the critical need for treating high blood pressure in later life.
Doing so could significantly lower the risk of dementia, providing not just longer but also higher-quality lives for older adults.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 11th 2023
This article reviews the current regulatory role of miR-7 in inflammation and related diseases, including viral infection, autoimmune hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and encephalitis. It expounds on the molecular mechanism by which miR-7 regulates the occurrence of inflammatory diseases. Finally, the existing problems and future development directions of miR-7-based intervention on inflammation and related diseases are discussed to provide new references and help strengthen the understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation and related diseases, as well as the development of new strategies for clinical interventi...

Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Factor Also Reduces Incidence of Neurodegenerative Disease
It is well known that the aging of the vasculature contributes to the aging of the brain. The brain requires a great deal of energy to operate, and the nutrients and oxygen needed for optimal brain metabolism are supplied in the bloodstream. With age, capillary density declines, the heart becomes weaker, and blood vessels are narrowed by the development of atherosclerotic lesions. All of this combines to reduce the delivery of nutrients to the brain, and its metabolism suffers as a result. Here, researchers present additional evidence to support this view of the impact of cardiovascular aging on brain aging.
Cardi...

A High Level Popular Science View of the Longevity Industry
The article I'll point out today is an entirely unremarkable, high level tour of the most discussed, most notable portions of the longevity industry and related research efforts. Twenty years ago, we'd all have been delighted to see the media both noticing translational aging research at all, and then actually taking seriously the prospect of treating aging as a medical condition. We've come a long way to now see summary discussions of work on the treatment of aging as business as usual, not really worth mentioning. Still, articles like this miss near all of the really interesting projects, and that is the way of high leve...

Great Food Can Improve Brain Development (Even Before Birth)
What we eat – and what our kids eat – affects so much in life: appearance, energy, cognition, focus, mood, how often we get sick, how quickly we get better, how likely we are to develop a chronic disease, and how we age.
Every bite of food is either an investment in our future, a new debt we are taking out, or some of both.
There are many ways to enjoy the benefits of real food. One healthy way of eating that has been studied a lot is the Mediterranean diet, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, fish, herbs, spices, and olive oil. Red meats, processed foods, and added sugars are limited.

In conclusion, although the contribution of CRF to GrimAgeAccel and FitAgeAccel is relatively low compared to lifestyle-related factors such as smoking, the results suggest that the maintenance of CRF is associated with delayed biological ageing in older men.

Release of Acetylcholine is Necessary for the Aging Brain to Compensate for a Lack of Neurogenesis
We examined whether adult neurogenesis sustains hippocampal connections cumulatively across the life span. Long-term suppression of neurogenesis as occurs during stress and aging resulted in an accelerated decline in hippocampal acetylcholine signaling and a slow and progressing emergence of profound working memory deficits.
These deficits were accompanied by compensatory reorganization of cholinergic dentate gyrus inputs with increased cholinergic innervation to the ventral hippocampus and recruitment of ventrally projecting neurons by the dorsal projection. While increased cholinergic innervation was dysfunctional...

Declining Cardiovascular Mortality in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
A downward trend in cardiovascular mortality has prevailed for some time now, and we might take the data here as an example of ways in which improved options for detection and treatment produce results in specific portions of the patient population. Also worthy of note is the point that these older patients have many issues, and while slowing the pace of cardiovascular decline with age should have beneficial effects throughout the body, reduced cardiovascular mortality due to improved treatment that specifically focuses on cardiovascular disease allows other age-related conditions to claim a greater proportion of the popul...
