Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - Accelerated brain ageing and dementia

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Kam explores whether dementia could be understood as a form of accelerated brain ageing. Drawing on neuropathological evidence and the concept of biological age, she discusses the continuum between normal ageing and neurodegenerative disease, the role of risk and protective factors, and the potential of brain age measurement for early prediction of dementia. The blog also urges caution in relying solely on biomarkers for diagnosis, and argues for a more nuanced understanding of brain health across the lifespan.
