Disrupted Circadian Rhythms Linked to Elevated Dementia Risk

New research indicates that circadian misalignment may heighten dementia risk, reflecting chronobiology’s foundational principle that human physiology is tuned to ancestral light-dark cycles.

Three things to remember

• Circadian disruption is associated with increased dementia risk in a recent report.
• Potential mechanisms include neuroinflammation and impaired amyloid-beta clearance.
• Maintaining consistent sleep and light exposure supports brain health.
