Curtin University
A new study led by Curtin University has revealed millions of dementia cases across the Western Pacific Region could potentially be prevented by implementing country-specific strategies to address key risk factors such as education access, obesity and mental health.
Flinders University
An Australian-led international research collaboration has delivered a promising breakthrough in the quest to better understand and treat childhood dementia.
Edith Cowan University
New research has found that people who eat more nitrate from vegetables had a lower risk of developing dementia, while those who consumed more nitrate and nitrite from animal foods, processed meats, and drinking water, had a higher risk of dementia.
Edith Cowan University
New research has found no evidence that calcium monotherapy increases the long-term risk for dementia.
Edith Cowan University
An innovative Edith Cowan University (ECU) research project is using the power of music and storytelling to support the wellbeing of older Italian migrants, including those living with dementia.
Macquarie University
A world-first clinical trial is combining a commonly used antibiotic and a cough medicine to fight some of the processes that cause a common form of dementia.
Macquarie University
Treating common health problems and controlling for lifestyle risks could help Australia cut rising dementia rates by as much as 45 per cent. So why aren’t we screening older people and helping them make the necessary changes?
Edith Cowan University
New research from ECU shows that common bone density scans can also reveal plaque build-up in the abdominal aorta - which researchers have found is a reliable marker for developing dementia.
Macquarie University
Macquarie University neuroscientists have developed a single-dose genetic medicine that has been proven to halt the progression of both motor neurone disease (MND) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in mice – and may even offer the potential to reverse some of the effects of the fatal diseases.
