Study: Air quality prevents neurodegenerative diseases

A direct link between air pollution and Alzheimer’s disease has been found. It has been scientifically proven for the first time that long-term inhalation of polluted air increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

The study conducted by Emory University and published in the journal Plos Medicine analyzed the data of more than 27.8 million Americans over 65 years of age, followed from 2000 to 2018.

Also, it was found that the risk increases more in those who have passed a stroke. Research work clarifies and suggests that improving air quality can significantly help prevent neurodegenerative diseases.

Exposure to atmospheric pollution is a factor in the occurrence of Alzheimer’s, but also of other related pathologies, such as hypertension, stroke and depression.

It turns out that long-term exposure is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, mostly with direct effects and consequences on the brain.
