00:00New study links, popular medications to reduced risk of dementia.
00:05Dementia affects older adults' memory and cognition, progressing over time without a cure.
00:11Treatments alleviate symptoms, but don't stop progression.
00:17While there are some new drugs on the market that have the potential to slow the progress of dementia,
00:23they are often quite expensive and don't work for everyone.
00:30A study showed certain prescription drugs may lower dementia risk,
00:34identifying links through a systematic review of 14 studies.
00:38This research highlights potential preventative treatments.
00:44They found anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibiotic medications potentially lower dementia risk.
00:53Additionally, vaccines like typhoid, hepatitis A, and diphtheria
00:58showed links to reduced dementia risk.
01:04Testing other drugs yielded inconsistent results,
01:08particularly for antidepressants, blood pressure, and diabetes medications,
01:13possibly due to their varying effects on bodily processes.
01:16The higher dementia risk in diabetics complicates discerning drug effects from the condition itself.
01:23These findings underscore the need for more research on how these drugs affect dementia risk
01:29and the biological mechanisms involved.
01:32Exploring new uses for existing medications could offer quicker treatment options,
01:37providing hope in combating dementia.
01:39Exploring new uses for sure.
