Low bone density, poor bone health linked to higher dementia risk

• Does bone health affect brain health? In a recent study, researchers investigated the link between bone mineral density and dementia in older patients.
• They found low bone mineral density is linked to higher dementia risk later in life.
• Further research is needed as the findings display a correlation, not causation.

Over 55 million people globally have dementia. By 2050, this figure is expected to increase to 139 million people.

Studies have suggested a link between bone mineral density and
