A new study finds heart-healthy habits lower dementia risk in type 2 diabetes patients, even with high genetic risk.
A new study of over 40,000 adults with type 2 diabetes finds that adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle—measured by the American Heart Association’s “Life’s Essential 8” factors—can significantly reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, even in those with a high genetic predisposition.
Over 13 years, those with moderate or high cardiovascular health had a 15% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment or dementia, with a 27% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment and 23% lower risk of dementia among those with the highest genetic risk.
The findings, presented at the American Heart Association meeting and not yet peer-reviewed, suggest lifestyle choices can offset genetic risk, reinforcing that heart-healthy habits support long-term brain health.
