00:00Brain iron levels could shed light on the connection between ADHD and dementia.
00:05Older adults with ADHD have higher dementia risk due to similar abnormal iron distribution in brain regions seen in dementia.
00:16Iron aid's brain functions but excess in areas like the neocortex damages neurons.
00:22ADHD brains show accelerated buildup, resembling Alzheimer's effects.
00:2732 ADHD adults showed more brain iron in precentral cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum.
00:37Researchers linked high NFL levels in blood to brain iron buildup, suggesting axon damage indicating increased dementia risk and cognitive decline.
00:49A study conducted in Geneva has found that adults with ADHD have elevated levels of iron in their brains.
00:55It used QSM-MRI to detect and analyze brain iron distribution, highlighting its role in ADHD and dementia connection.
01:07Excess iron causes oxidative stress, harming nerve cells and worsening ADHD and dementia by disrupting cellular energy production.
01:15Genes involved in iron metabolism affect both Alzheimer's disease and certain rare disorders.
01:25Understanding predispositions aids in personalized treatments and addresses neurodegeneration in three key focus areas.
01:32Focus areas include early detection, lifestyle changes, and targeted treatments.
01:37Identifying high-risk individuals is key for proactive disease management.
01:45Lifestyle changes like regular exercise, antioxidant-rich diet, and stress management can reduce dementia risk in ADHD populations by mitigating oxidative stress.
01:55Inrados
01:59A study fundamentalist, high-risk individuals is a science-based disease.
