🚨 New study alert!
In our latest work, just published in Nature Aging, we show that what older adults eat can shape how fast they accumulate chronic diseases over time:

See our latest work published in EHJ. We show that increased troponin levels (a protein indicates heart muscle damage) measured at midlife was associated with higher risk of dementia at late life and this elevation started as early as 25 years before dementia diagnosis.
People with poor heart health during middle age are more likely to develop dementia in later life, with signs of heart damage linked to dementia risk as much as 25 years later, finds a new study led by Dr @yuntaochen.bsky.social @uclpsychiatry.bsky.social & Prof Eric Brunner @ucliehc.bsky.social
Poorer heart health in middle age linked to increased dementia risk
People with signs of damage to their heart during middle age are more likely to develop dementia in later life, according to a new study led by UCL researchers.

📢 My third PhD paper was just published in The Lancet Regional Health-Europe (authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...), in which we examined cause-specific mortality in individuals with and without mental disorders according to socioeconomic position, using nationwide registers from Denmark.

Olfactory dysfunction increases progression to dementia in cognitively impaired older adults: a 12-year population-based study - GeroScience
Olfactory deficits are hypothesized to precede cognitive decline and be independently associated with future dementia. Conversely, the concurrency of cognitive and olfactory impairments is expected to...
