See our latest work published in EHJ. We show that increased troponin levels (a protein indicates heart muscle damage) measured at midlife was associated with higher risk of dementia at late life and this elevation started as early as 25 years before dementia diagnosis.

📢 My third PhD paper was just published in The Lancet Regional Health-Europe (authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...), in which we examined cause-specific mortality in individuals with and without mental disorders according to socioeconomic position, using nationwide registers from Denmark.

🧵1/ 🚨 New study alert! In our latest work, just published in Nature Aging, we show that what older adults eat can shape how fast they accumulate chronic diseases over time: Here’s what we found 👇

🍲🍲 NEW PAPER 🍰🍰 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Food choices are always a tradeoff between the benefits of energy intake and the risk of accidental contamination. The relative importance of these two varies depending on a person's current metabolic need. (1/3)

Paper alert 🚨 We found that older adults with both cognitive and olfactory impairments were more likely to progress to dementia in the short term. The association between having only olfactory dysfunction and progression to dementia remained stable 🧠👃 doi.org/10.1007/s113...

"Your sense of smell is not only your smell and taste." This Medical News article highlights a study in JAMA Otolaryngology that links olfactory deficiency to an increased risk of mortality. #MedSky

I am glad to share our latest publication on the brain correlates of olfactory decline in aging 👃We have found that not only brain atrophy but also cerebrovascular burden may play a role in the progressive deterioration of odor identification 🧠 🫀 doi.org/10.3389/fnag...

🚨New study: Blood proteins linked to dementia risk ELSA & UK Biobank data reveal key biomarkers: 📌NEFL & RPS6KB1 linked to dementia 📌MMP12 linked to vascular dementia 📌Possible sex differences in risk Read the full story: bit.ly/4kZoaZf #Dementia #Ageing

We are hiring. A two-year postdoc in Whitehall II research group at UCL focusing on air pollution and dementia based on 40 years longitudinal data. Please find more details in the link below. Please share this to people who may be interested. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Excited to see our study on dietary patterns and blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease is now published doi.org/10.1016/j.tj... Diet seems to be associated with biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology in cognitively intact older adults 1/
