Relationship Between Dementia and Systemic Metabolic Disorders
Kaoru Sakatani. Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2024
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
Recent research has linked systemic metabolic disorders to cognitive decline and dementia risk, including Alzheimer's. This is suspected to be due to lifestyle-related vascular impairments from atherosclerosis and other factors, such as malnutrition and anaemia. Applying deep learning using 2897 cases from a rehabilitation hospital and health screenings, we trained a model to predict cognitive function [mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores] and brain atrophy [Brain Healthcare Quotient (BHQ) scores] from basic blood tests and age. The deep learning model accurately estimated MMSE and BHQ from these inputs, with age, nutritional information, and organ function indicators being top predictors. These findings highlight the relationship of dementia with systemic metabolic disorders and suggest the potential of using routine blood tests for dementia risk assessment. Furthermore, personalised dietary interventions could be tailored based on blood test anomalies. This holistic view mirrors traditional Chinese medicine, which considers brain disorders systemic, that is related to vital organs but not the brain itself.

How this study scored 43/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 24 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 43 out of 100.
