INFLAMMATION AND COGNITIVE DECLINE

Chronic inflammation beginning in middle age has been linked to cognitive decline in later years, according to a new cohort study. In the study of over 12,000 participants, mid-life inflammation was correlated with a sharp decline in cognitive decline – especially memory.
This is one of the first studies of its kind to look at midlife inflammation and memory rather than inflammation later in life. Dr. Keenan Walker of Johns Hopkins University, one of the authors of the study, elaborates: "While other studies have looked at chronic inflammation and its effects on the brain in older people, our large study investigated chronic inflammation beginning in middle age and showed that it may contribute to cognitive decline in the decades leading up to old age. "
