Warning: 3 Things That Can Shrink Your Brain...
Dear Reader,
Important news on lifestyle factors and brain health. A new study in the journal Neurology, suggests that smoking and allowing your weight to be out of control in middle age may actually shrink your brain... bringing on mental decline a mere ten years later.
Researchers have always hypothesized such risk factors could impact brain health, but to have a study that proves it adds more weight to recommendations to live a healthy lifestyle all through life.
And while there's no stopping the aging process, by doing what you can to keep your body healthy during midlife plays an important part in holding onto a healthy mind as the years pass.
The researchers out of the University of California Davis examined data on 1,352 subjects who were taking part in the Framingham Offspring Study... a generally health conscious lot.
Participants were 54 years old, on average, and were given tests of blood pressure, cholesterol and for diabetes, as well as measuring body mass index and waist circumference. MRI brain scans were taken over the course of ten years, the first about 7 years after the initial risk factor assessment.
Anyone with stroke or dementia was excluded at the start of the study, and during the time of the first and last MRIs, 19 of the participants had a stroke, two developed dementia.
The team saw that factors like smoking, high blood pressure, having diabetes and being too heavy were each associated with dangerous vascular changes in the brain.
- Those who had high blood pressure saw a faster drop in test scores on planning and decision-making, and this corresponds to a faster rate of growth of tiny areas of vascular brain damage, than those who had normal blood pressure readings.
- Participants who had diabetes at midlife saw a loss in brain size in a part of the brain called the hippocampus that was faster than those who didn't have diabetes.

Warning: 3 Things That Can Shrink Your Brain... Continued...
- Smokers lost brain volume in the hippocampus, as well as showing
an overall decrease in size, with a faster increase in those areas of vascular
brain damage than those who did not smoke.
- Subjects who were at obese
at midlife were more likely to
be in the top 25% of those who showed faster declines in tests on executive function.
Having a high waist to hip ratio also made subjects more likely to be part of
the 25% who had a faster drop in brain volume.
The effects of the risk factors studied are likely to be more compelling in the
larger population, since the study subjects were mostly healthy people who had
normal blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as having a lower risk of diabetes.
The group of subjects certainly aren't a good representation of the general population
considering the growing obesity epidemic in this country, as well as the numbers
of those with high blood pressure/cholesterol readings.
So now we have solid data that shows there are things you can do... stopping
smoking, watching your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers as well as eating
right and exercising in an effort to avoid diabetes... in order to keep both
body and mind sound as the years pass. All this boils down to keeping your weight
under control, which is no easy task to be sure, but one certainly worth the
effort considering what it can do for your brain health over the long term.
To your good health,
