Consumo regular de ovos está associado a um menor risco de Alzheimer

Adultos com 65 anos ou mais que consomem ovos regularmente apresentam uma chance reduzida de desenvolver a doença de Alzheimer, de acordo com uma nova pesquisa da Loma Linda University Health. O estudo constatou que comer pelo menos cinco ovos por semana foi associado a um risco até 27% menor. Mesmo uma ingestão moderada mostrou benefícios mensuráveis.

As conclusões vêm de uma análise de quase 40.000 participantes da coorte Adventist Health Study-2, que foram acompanhados por uma média de 15,3 anos. Os pesquisadores cruzaram o consumo de ovos relatado pelos próprios participantes com registros do Medicare para identificar diagnósticos de Alzheimer. Joan Sabaté, pesquisador principal do estudo, observou que, em comparação com nunca comer ovos, consumir pelo menos cinco ovos por semana pode diminuir o risco da doença.

Older adults carrying high-risk APOE4 gene variants experienced slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk with higher meat consumption, according to a Karolinska Institutet study of over 2,100 participants tracked for up to 15 years. Findings suggest diet's effects on brain health vary by genetics, challenging one-size-fits-all advice.

People who reported more mentally stimulating experiences from childhood through older age were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and tended to develop symptoms years later than peers with the lowest enrichment, according to an observational study published in Neurology.

A team of researchers led by Professor Yan-Jiang Wang has published a review arguing that Alzheimer's disease requires integrated treatments targeting multiple factors, not single causes. New drugs like lecanemab and donanemab offer modest benefits by slowing decline, but fall short of reversal. The paper, in Science China Life Sciences, emphasizes genetics, aging, and systemic health alongside amyloid-beta and tau proteins.

New research from the University of Southern California suggests that subtle declines in brain blood flow and oxygen delivery may be early indicators of Alzheimer's disease. The study, published in Alzheimer's and Dementia, used noninvasive scans to connect vascular health with amyloid plaques and hippocampal shrinkage. These findings highlight the role of brain circulation in the disease process beyond traditional markers like amyloid and tau.
