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

The results of a recent study suggest that people with a weaker or more irregular body clock, also known as circadian rhythm, may have a higher risk of developing dementia.

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 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 ...

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 ...

A new study has found circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock, may affect a person’s risk of dementia. More than 2,000 people wore monitors for an average of 12 days to track their rest and ...

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 ...

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 ...
