Dementia risk higher in those who eat more trans fats AskADoctor healthcaremagic dailyhealthtips
A new study of older adults in a Japanese town has found that those whose blood contained higher levels of trans fats were more likely to develop dementia than those with lower levels.
According to the American Heart Association, consumption of trans fats can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and has links to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. 52–74% higher chance of dementia The new study used data on 1,628 people who were at least 60 years of age and without dementia when they gave blood samples during a screening exam in 2002–2003. The researchers followed them for another 10 years and noted any incidences of dementia that occurred.
Your privacy is important to us. In the group with the highest blood level of trans fats, the incidence rate of dementia was 29.8 per 1,000 person-years. The authors note that the link"remained significant after adjustment for dietary factors, including total energy intake and intakes of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids."
They suggest that the reason for inconsistent results in the previous studies was that they lacked an accurate method for assessing dietary intake of trans fats. By correlating this information with the other results, the researchers were able to assess which foods likely contributed the most to the higher levels of blood trans fats.
