Ask your doctors about the benefits of selenium and iron as described in the following posts. Then get AN EXACT PROTOCOL from them on all trace minerals.
Associations between essential trace elements and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Dysregulation of essential trace elements has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, yet comprehensive epidemiologic evidence remains limited. We investigated associations of seven plasma essential trace elements, including manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium, and molybdenum, with AD and all-cause dementia risk.METHODS
We analyzed 1,737 participants from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center. Cross-sectional analyses assessed prevalent disease; longitudinal analyses evaluated incident cases among 1,101 initially dementia-free participants (median follow-up: 2.05 years). Multivariable logistic regression, Cox proportional hazards models, and quantile-based g-computation evaluated individual and mixture effects.
RESULTS
A simultaneous one-quartile increase in the seven-element mixture was associated with lower prevalent AD (odds ratio [OR] = 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.52–0.91). Longitudinally, higher plasma iron was associated with lower incident AD (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.41; 95% CI: 0.19–0.92, Q4 vs. Q1), while selenium predicted higher incident AD risk (HR = 2.42; 95% CI: 1.11–5.27, Q4 vs. Q1).
DISCUSSION
Lower plasma iron and higher plasma selenium were each associated with greater dementia risk, identifying iron and selenium as potentially modifiable factors for dementia prevention, especially in selenium-replete populations.
Highlights
Higher plasma iron consistently associated with lower dementia risk.
Plasma selenium paradoxically linked to higher incident Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk.
Seven-element mixture associated with 30% lower odds of prevalent AD.(Your competent? doctor needs to create AN EXAXT PROTOCOL for these! Can't do that? PURE INCOMPETENCE!)
