In a new extensive systematic review, researchers identified 17 modifiable risk factors that are shared by stroke, dementia, and late-life depression. Modifying any one of them can reduce your risk of all three conditions. The findings provide evidence to inform novel tools such as the Brain Care Score.

To tackle this problem, researchers compared Veterans Affairs data on 2 million T2D patients (2017-2023) taking either GLP-1s , DPP4is, SGLT2is, or usual care antihyperglycemics over a 3.68 As expected, GLP-1s reduced MI risk by 9%, cardiac arrest by 22%, incident HF by 11%, ischemic stroke by 7%, and hemorrhagic stroke by 14%.

The whole process can easily take 10-15 years and therefore patients may continue to be managed in sub-optimal manner for this duration of time even when there is available research to say that things could be done better. Today I wanted to talk about some troubling research in the field of AF. AF stands for atrial fibrillation.

I am going to start with the answer to the question of whether statins cause dementia and then provide the details backing up my answer. Statins do not cause dementia. But if you are someone who thinks that statins do cause dementia and you need to see the evidence to refute that claim, then read on. The answer is: No.
