Poor heart health in middle age increases risk of dementia: Here's what a study found
New UCL research reveals that even silent heart damage in middle age significantly increases dementia risk later in life. The study found higher troponin levels, indicating subtle heart injury, were linked to a 38% greater chance of dementia decades later, highlighting midlife as a crucial period for heart health to protect the brain.
