About this Research Topic
Background:
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is steadily increasing, necessitating a profound understanding of its etiology for effective prevention and management strategies. This Research Topic aims to investigate lifestyle and environmental factors contributing to AD development and progression, several aspects have been identified as potential influencers, such as diet, exercise, cognitive reserve, sleep patterns, and air quality. Examining these elements and the molecular mechanism of these factors provides valuable insights into the intricate interactions shaping the risk of developing AD.
Goal:
The primary objective of this Research Topic is to enhance our understanding of how diverse lifestyle and environmental factors influence AD onset and progression. By exploring the relationships between diet, exercise, cognitive reserve, sleep patterns, air quality, and AD, we aim to uncover potential preventive measures and therapeutic interventions. This research seeks to offer evidence-based strategies for reducing AD risk, improving the quality of life for affected individuals, and potentially introducing novel therapeutic approaches.
Scope and Information for Authors:
We invite authors to contribute original research articles, clinical studies, reviews, and meta-analyses delving into the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on AD. Specific themes include, but are not limited to:
- Elucidating the role of diet and nutrition in AD risk and progression.
- Investigating the effects of exercise and physical activity on cognitive decline and AD.
- Examining the concept of cognitive reserve and its implications in AD prevention.
- Exploring the relationship between sleep patterns, sleep quality, and AD.
- Assessing the impact of air quality and pollutant exposure on AD incidence and progression.
Additionally, we welcome manuscripts exploring potential mechanisms and proposing interventions or preventive strategies related to these themes. By integrating multidisciplinary perspectives, this Research Topic aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of lifestyle and environmental influences on AD, offering valuable insights for future research and clinical practice.
