Exercise & Fitness
Fact: Regular physical activity - even at moderate levels - reduces
the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and obesity.
Here's another fact: 65% of Americans are considered obese. So while
the risks associated with not exercising are clear, we don't seem to
be doing anything to change our sedentary ways.

Vitamin Deficiency
Implicated
in Alzheimer's Disease

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. Some
studies have found a correlation between low vitamin B12
levels and the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and
dementia; other studies have found no such correlation.
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute now provide convincing
evidence that a deficiency of either vitamin B12 or folic acid
(folate) is associated with an increased risk of AD and
dementia. Their study involved 370 non-demented people aged 75
years and older who were not supplementing with vitamin B12 or
folate. The participants were tested at baseline to determine
mental status and had blood samples drawn for analysis of
vitamin B12 and folate levels. Only subjects who showed no
signs of dementia were included in the follow-up group. Three
years later 77 of the participants had developed dementia; of
these 59 were diagnosed with AD. Compared with participants
with normal levels of vitamin B12 and folate the participants
with low levels of at least one of the vitamins had a 2.3
times higher risk of AD and a 1.7 times risk of any kind of
dementia. These risk estimates were obtained after adjusting
for other risk factors such as age, sex, and educational
attainment. The researchers speculate that homocysteine, a
known neurotoxin, may be involved in the development of AD and
that vitamin B12 and folic acid help prevent this effect by
reducing homocysteine levels in the body. Wang, H-X, et al.
