Bowel disease linked to huge increase in risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia – The New Daily
New research has found that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is linked to a massively increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
New research has found that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is linked to a six-fold risk of Alzheimer’s disease and an overall doubling the risk of dementia of all types.
It was also found that dementia was diagnosed seven years earlier in people with IBD than in those without the condition. This suggests that IBD may hasten the onset of dementia.
The research, led by Taiwan’s Taipei Veterans General Hospital, is the latest to explore disruptions in what is known as the gut-brain axis.
