Background: Research heavily suggests that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), vital for neuronal growth and plasticity, and cholecystokinin (CCK), a satiety hormone that regulates BDNF levels, are altered in Alzheimer's Disease pathophysiology. Factors such as dysbiosis of gut microbiota and poor food habits may affect CCK and BDNF release and brain function. The objective is to evaluate the effects of dietary habits, gut microbiota, and exercise on BDNF and CCK release in Alzheimer's Disease patients.

Background: The emergence of dementia as a global health challenge necessitates an exploration of its unique epidemiological patterns and risk factors in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Amid a growing elderly population, SSA presents an intriguing paradox of lower-than-expected dementia prevalence, prompting a comprehensive review of epidemiological nuances, lifestyle risk factors, cultural influences, and protective factors. This study critically assessed the current state of dementia research in SSA, aiming to inform tailored interventions and policies.
