Background: Dementia, with the most common form being Alzheimer's disease, is a global health issue and lifestyle-based strategies may reduce risk. Individuals with a family history of dementia are an important target group, but little is known about their attitudes and perceptions of dementia risk reduction.
Objective: To elucidate the attitudes to and key considerations for multidomain lifestyle-based dementia prevention strategies in middle-aged Australians with a family history of dementia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between five common dietary scores and the risk of developing severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among UK Biobank participants.* -
- A total of 162,999 participants were analyzed over an average follow-up of 10.2 years, with 1,370 diagnosed with severe NAFLD; specific dietary scores like MEDAS-14, RFS, and HDI showed a consistent association with a lower risk of NAFLD.* -
- The findings suggest that adhering to a healthy diet, as indicated by these scores, can significantly reduce the risk of developing severe NAFLD, highlighting the importance of nutrition in liver health.*
Introduction: Many lifestyle factors have been associated with dementia, but there is limited evidence of how these group together. The aim of this study was to examine the clustering of lifestyle behaviors and associations with dementia.
Methods: This population-based study included 9947 older Australian women.
In this study, we assessed the efficacy of a novel Bacillus subtilis probiotic in improving growth performance and gut responses in comparison to pharmacological zinc oxide (ZnO) in nursery pigs. A total of 96 piglets were randomly assigned to four groups: Negative control (NC), Positive control (PC, 3000 mg Zn /kg feed), B.subtilis low dose (BS9-L, 2 × 10 CFU/pig) and B.

However, a key property of these behaviors is they often co-occur or cluster, highlighting the importance of examining them in combination.
Objective: To identify and characterize the statistical approaches used to aggregate multiple health-related behaviors/modifiable risk factors and assess associations with cognitive outcomes in adults.
