“A new study highlights the importance of middle age in understanding and predicting future cognitive health. Researchers emphasize that this period, traditionally between 40 and 65 years, is pivotal for identifying risk factors for dementia and represents a crucial phase for interventions.
Key findings include significant brain changes during middle age, such as structural shifts and altered gene expression, which are linked to cognitive decline. This research underscores the need for more studies on middle age to develop early screening methods and identify new therapy targets, potentially offering insights into preventing cognitive deterioration.”
