Life’s Simple 7: Dementia Protection

Life’s Simple 7 is a path to enlightenment: it protects your brain from dementia.

A study in JAMA Neurology found that following the American Heart Association’s “Life’s Simple 7” guidelines dramatically reduces the chance of developing cognition problems, even for folks with a high genetic risk for dementia. High risk comes when you have one or more copies of a gene called APOE4, a variant of apolipoprotein, which encodes proteins carrying cholesterol around the brain and interferes with waste removal from the brain.

The Simple 7? Blood pressure; control cholesterol; reduce blood sugar; get active; eat better; lose weight; stop smoking.

The study tracked 11,561 folks, mean age 54, for 30 years and found that adopting those behaviors in midlife offers the best protection. It’s not as hard as it might sound: If you eat better, get active and lose weight, chances are you’ll also control cholesterol and blood pressure and reduce blood sugar levels.
