Hello,

As the flowers blush from the warm kiss of the modest sun, we hope you are taking moments throughout the week to enjoy its beauty.

In our first article, a new study suggests that women with a history of pre-eclampsia (marked by abnormally high blood pressure and other problems during pregnancy) should be encouraged to take heart-healthy measures earlier in life that may help protect brain health. The study indicates that pre-eclampsia is associated with an increased risk of later dementia. Physicians asking about a history of pre-eclampsia could help them identify women who might benefit from screening for early signs of disease, allowing for early clinical intervention.

In our second article, researchers also found a connection between body-wide inflammation and Alzheimer’s. Researchers are unsure why the two are connected, but do know that body-wide inflammation due to heart disease, diabetes, infections or other conditions, may play a role.

As we are educating ourselves on how to take better care of our overall health, we are learning that although some conditions may be short-term, some have irreversible long-term effects.  Be good to yourself. Take the necessary steps needed today that will help you live a better tomorrow.

To learn more about the above-mentioned research, please read these expert-reviewed articles below and for more information about Alzheimer’s; please visit our website at www.alzinfo.org.

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the research progress being made at the Fisher Center.

Together we can end Alzheimer’s.

Sincerely,
