The 'age' of your blood could predict dementia risk, new study suggests
A new study suggests that biological age, as determined by blood tests, may be a predictor of dementia risk. Researchers found that individuals with a higher 'MileAge delta' and certain genetic factors had significantly increased chances of developing dementia. The findings highlight the potential for blood profiles to inform risk assessments for various types of dementia.
- ▪The study analyzed data from over 223,000 participants in the UK Biobank.
- ▪A higher MileAge delta indicates an older blood profile, correlating with increased dementia risk.
- ▪Individuals with both a higher MileAge delta and the APOE gene linked to Alzheimer's had a tenfold increase in dementia risk.
