PACEMAKERS

DANCE GROUP FIGHTING AGEISM

Ever hear of the Pacemakers Dance Team? It’s a New York City dance company of older adults ranging in age from 60 to 87. Susan Avery started the group in 2019 after experiencing cyberbullying, turning those negative online experiences into an inspiring community. Their mission is to challenge stereotypes about getting older and treat it as a badge of honor. The troupe members proudly display their actual year of birth in bold numbers on the backs of their team jerseys. The Pacemakers gained widespread attention and formed a special connection with Lady Gaga after performing energetic routines to her music. You can see them dancing to Gaga here!

Risk Factors for Dementia Identified

STUDY FOCUSED ON MIDLIFE BEHAVIOR

A new study, published on August 5th in Neurology Open Access examined risk factors in midlife that appear to be associated with a higher risk of developing dementia later in life. The research, based on 12,409 participants with an average age of 56, found that the risk factors are: high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking. When these vascular risks are controlled, they can add approximately 13 years of dementia-free life, according to the study. The research also found that, no matter how many risk factors participants had, the women participants lived longer without dementia than men and Caucasian participants had more dementia-free years than Black participants. The findings demonstrated that vascular issues are highly correlative with cognitive health and highlight the need for early preventive measures to extend dementia-free years.

COUNTRY MUSIC ICON PASSES AWAY AT 80

The passing of Dolly Parton earlier this month has brought a palpable wave of sadness across the country and around the world. The legendary “Queen of Country Music,” actress, and composer of songs like “I Will Always Love You” and “9 to 5” was also an impactful philanthropist. She shared her philosophy on life in her music and in interviews, always emphasizing unity and kindness over partisan politics. When asked about her views on aging, she famously stated: “I aint got time to get old” and that she did not measure her life by the years on a calendar, but rather by her experiences, accomplishments, and what she had ahead of her. The icon also shared that she didn’t think death is the end for any of us. Rest in Peace, Dolly Parton – you’ll be missed.

Is a Cure for Alzheimer’s on the Horizon?

CASE WESTERN RESERVE RESEARCH SHOWS PROMISE

A new study found that Alzheimer’s type dementia can be reversed in animals to achieve full neurological recovery – not just prevented or slowed. Historically, Alzheimer's disease has been considered to be irreversible. For decades, scientific research has been focused primarily on preventing or slowing the disease’s progression. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland VA recently discovered a lack of NAD+ (a key cellular energy molecule) drives the disease. And this cellular energy molecule declines naturally with age. The Case Western team discovered that NAD+ levels drop even more dramatically in Alzheimer's patients' brains. By using a compound called P7C3-A20, researchers were able to stabilize NAD+ levels in two different mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Restoring normal NAD+ levels blocked Alzheimer's from starting and boosting NAD+ during advanced stages actually reversed brain damage. Animal models fully recovered their normal memory and thinking skills. Restoring brain energy balance now offers a potential path to full recovery. Researchers are now moving toward testing these therapies in human clinical trials.

Coffee and Dementia

CAFFEINE MAY LOWER YOUR RISK

A compelling study published earlier this year looked at whether there may be an association between caffeine intake – and the risk of dementia. In this prospective cohort study conducted at Harvard, 131,821 individuals from two cohorts were followed – with up to 43 years of follow-up. 11,033 dementia cases were identified and higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Interestingly, decaffeinated coffee didn't seem to have a protective effect. The study found that greater consumption of caffeine, whether coffee or tea, was associated with lower risk of dementia and modestly better cognitive function.
