Correlation Between Air Pollution Exposure, Dementia Risk, and Blood Concentrations of Vitamin B and Amino Acids

A recent study has unveiled a potential link between exposure to air pollution, the risk of developing dementia, and the levels of certain nutrients in the blood. The research, published in the journal Neurology, suggests that individuals with blood certain concentrations of vitamin B related amino acids (Homocysteine and Methionine) may be more susceptible to dementia after exposure to air pollution.

The study, led by a team of researchers, analyzed data from over 2,500 adults participants aged 60 and above. The participants’ blood samples were examined for levels of certain amino acids, while their exposure to air pollution was assessed using their residential history and air quality data.

Air Quality & Life Span

Most of us have heard of Bryan Johnson, the Silicon Valley tech mogul who sold his startup for a reported $800 million. But what you may not know is that Johnson is taking an unconventional approach to extending his life span. Excellent indoor air quality is one of the regimes that he is paying very close attention to.

The process, which will cost Johnson a reported $2 million a year, is expected to include a variety of lifestyle changes and medical treatments. Of course, Johnson will likely focus on the basics – healthy eating and exercise. But he’ll also be looking at cutting-edge treatments, such as stem cell therapy and gene therapy, to give his body the best chance of staying healthy.

Moreover, it’s not just about the treatments – Johnson also plans to invest heavily in improving his home environment (IAQ). He wants to make sure his home is free from pollutants and that the air he breathes is of the highest quality. He’s already installed a HEPA air filter and plans to invest in monitoring devices that will allow him to track his health and make informed decisions about the treatments and lifestyle changes he’s making. This will give him an unprecedented level of control over his body and allow him to make the most out of his investment.
