New research suggests that the strength and timing of the body’s internal clock may be closely tied to dementia risk.

Research links disrupted biological rhythms to dementia risk, but sleep length alone may not be the key factor.

Circadian rhythms that are weaker and more fragmented are linked to an increased risk of dementia, according to a new study published in Neurology. The study also found that circadian rhythm levels ...

Circadian rhythms that are weaker and more fragmented are tied to an increased risk of dementia, researchers reported Dec. 29 in the journal Neurology. In fact, people with weak circadian rhythms have ...

The research, published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, found that disrupted circadian rhythms are associated with higher likelihood of dementia – with a 45 ...

Your daily rhythm may matter more for brain health than previously thought. Older adults with weaker, more disrupted activity patterns were far more likely to develop dementia than those with steady ...

Irregular circadian rhythms or weak biological clock are an important red flag for brain health. People who are most active after 2.00pm or later in the day, experience a 45% increased risk of ...

A recent study in Neurology reveals that weaker, more fragmented circadian rhythms are linked to an increased dementia risk. Individuals with activity peaks later in the day also faced a higher ...

SALT LAKE CITY — Close to 7.5 million older adults in the U.S. live with Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia. And while most people may see the clock change overnight Nov. 2 as a chance ...

"Disruptions in circadian rhythms may alter body processes like inflammation, and may interfere with sleep, possibly increasing amyloid plaques linked to dementia, or reducing amyloid clearance from ...
