Research from Tohoku University Yields New Findings on Epidemiology (A Principal Component Analysis of Metabolome and Cognitive Decline Among Japanese Older Adults: Cross-sectional Analysis Using Tohoku Medical Megabank Cohort Study Data).

A recent study conducted by Tohoku University in Japan focused on the association between metabolites and cognitive decline among Japanese older adults. The research, which used data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Cohort Study, found that amino acids were protectively associated with cognitive decline, while ketone metabolites were linked to higher odds of cognitive decline. The study highlighted the importance of understanding the metabolite composition in different populations and its impact on cognitive health.
