Lower Spinal Bone Density May Flag People at Risk for Cognitive Decline

Chest CT findings reveal link between vertebral bone density, brain aging

<p>Chest CT is routinely performed for things like lung cancer screening, coronary calcium assessment and pulmonary nodule surveillance, but the modality also can be used to extract additional information. </p>

Is Bone Loss Linked to Dementia? New Study Offers Clues

Less Bone Density Associated With Lower Cognitive Performance The cognitive testing for the study assessed overall thinking ability, covering factors such as memory, language, attention, and the speed at which someone can process information under time pressure. Those in the lowest quarter of bone density were linked to a 0.3 percent faster decline in their global cognitive score compared with those in the highest quarter bone density group, acc…

Bone Density Linked with Brain Function

Lower bone density is linked with worse cognitive function, which may help identify postmenopausal women at risk of parallel skeletal and neurologic decline.

Low spinal bone density may predict faster brain aging

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that lower bone mineral density in the spine was associated with faster cognitive decline and accelerated age-related white matter injury, according to a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.
