Study Links Shingles Vaccine and Reduced Risk of Dementia
In a recent study, scientists found evidence that the shingles vaccine may boost cognitive health, giving more weight to a link suggested by previous research. After analyzing health records of 280,000 older adults in Wales, they found those who were vaccinated against shingles were 20% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those who were not, with an even stronger effect seen in women.
“For the first time, we are able to say much more confidently that the shingles vaccine causes a reduction in dementia risk,” senior study author Pascal Geldsetzer told The Guardian. “If this truly is a causal effect, we have a finding that’s of tremendous importance.”
Although the “how” is still unclear, scientists have some theories about the vaccine’s protective qualities. “It may reduce inflammation, support the immune system in ways that protect the brain, or involve other mechanisms,” said Julia Dudley, the head of research at Alzheimer’s Research U.K. She added: “Understanding this link better, including the reason for any differences between men and women, could open new avenues for dementia prevention and treatment.”
