Study Says : Take Your Multiviamin To Help Stave Off Alzheimer’s & Dementia

A new study, which was published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia : The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, found that taking a daily multivitamin for 3 years improved global cognition, including orientation/attention, memory, verbal fluency, language and visuospatial ability.   It also helps with episodic memory (the ability to recall and mentally re-experience specific episodes from one’s past) and executive function (a set of mental skills that include working memory, flexible thinking and self control).  The study was conducted by researchers from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.  The study was originally conducted to prove that dark chocolate helped with memory—study participants were given either a cocoa extract supplement, a multivitamin, or a placebo every day for three years.  The researchers were surprised by the finding that multivitamins were more impactful than dark chocolate.  Laura Baker, P.h.D., author of the study and professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University told CNN, “We really believed that the cocoa extract was going to have some benefits for cognition based on prior reports of cardiovascular benefit. So we’re waiting for that big reveal in our data analysis—and it was not cocoa extract that benefited cognition but rather the multivitamin.â€

The Social Security Administration announced that starting in January, Social Security checks will increase by 8.7%, the largest cost-of-living COLA increase since 1981.  The increase will benefit 70 million Social Security recipients benefits which will go from $1,699, on average, to $1,814.  This will be welcome news for those who have been struggling with high inflation.

Link Between COVID-19 And Alzheimer’s And Dementia Found

A new study, which was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, found that there were seven new diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease for every 1,000 seniors who had a documented case of COVID-19 in the past year, compared to five new diagnoses for every 1,000 who did not. However, Heather Snyder, VP of medical and scientific relations at Alzheimer’s Association, played down the study.

“The pandemic presented serious delays for individuals seeking out medical diagnoses like Alzheimer’s, meaning these results could be driven by those who already had Alzheimer’s when they were infected but had not yet sought out a formal diagnosis,†Snyder said.

Dr. Elezer Masliah, director of the Division of Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging, said there is evidence that COVID-19 could trigger cognitive impairment.  One step in finding out would be to follow people at risk for Alzheimer’s after a COVID-19 infection over the long term, tracking biomarkers found in the blood and doing brain scans.

Imagine how many millions of people over the age of 60 or 65, like myself, have had COVID.  Say 5% of them or 10% of them or even 1% of them are at risk,†he said.  “Wow.  We’re looking at a lot of people in the next few years that might add to the already very large epidemic that we have,†he added.
