Naučnici upozoravaju: Nagli skokovi šećera u krvi mogu povećati rizik od Alchajmera
Visok porast nivoa šećera u krvi posle obroka mogao bi da poveća rizik od razvoja Alchajmerove bolesti, pokazuje nova studija koja dodatno rasvetljava povezanost dijabetesa, insulinske rezistencije i demencije.
TL;DR
- Higher blood sugar levels two hours after meals may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by 69%.
- The study used Mendelian randomization on genetic data to establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
- No link was found between standard glucose levels, insulin resistance, or dementia and Alzheimer's.
- The study's findings could not be replicated in a second, older dataset, suggesting potential limitations.
- Further research in diverse populations is needed to confirm the link and understand the underlying biological mechanisms.
