Inflammation and Dementia

Heightened levels of brain inflammation biomarkers have been linked to the development of dementia. New research finds evidence that chronic inflammation may be tied to dementia.

Last year, Medical News Today reported on a study suggesting that elevated inflammation levels in midlife increased a person’s risk of experiencing loss of brain function and developing dementia later in life.  And recently, researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, have conducted a study analyzing data collected from 1,532 participants.

Specifically, the team tracked levels of a blood biomarker of inflammation called C-reactive protein and looked at its relationship with the risk of dementia.

“We found that individuals who had an increase in inflammation during midlife that was maintained from mid- to late life have greater abnormalities in the brain’s white matter structure, as measured with MRI scans,” says lead researcher Keenan Walker.

This research only goes to show how important dealing with inflammation now is to your overall health and one of the reasons why we greatly feature our CuraMed and Curamin products which are show through multiple research studies to reduce inflammation as well as provide many other health benefits.
