Emory University researchers discover air pollution causes Alzheimer's disease through direct pathways, according to study published in PLOS Medicine.
"Alzheimer’s is a complex disease, and it is likely that there are a variety of factors … that impact a person's lifetime risk." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
Since those other conditions are themselves linked to Alzheimer’s, the researchers said it’s not yet clear whether air pollution harms brain health on its own, or whether it raises dementia risk by first triggering those other health problems.
