Associations Of The Lipidome With Ageing, Cognitive Decline And Exercise Behaviours, Maria Kadyrov, Luke Whiley, Belinda Brown, Kirk I. Erickson, Elaine Holmes

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

One of the most recognisable features of ageing is a decline in brain health and cognitive dysfunction, which is associated with perturbations to regular lipid homeostasis. Although ageing is the largest risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, a loss in cognitive function is commonly observed in adults over the age of 65. Despite the prevalence of normal age-related cognitive decline, there is a lack of effective methods to improve the health of the ageing brain. In light of this, exercise has shown promise for positively influencing neurocognitive health and associated lipid profiles. This review summarises age-related changes …
