TITLE: Shingles Vaccine Linked to Lower Dementia Risk
Source: Google News - Health
Getting vaccinated against shingles may reduce the risk of developing dementia by 20% over seven years. This conclusion comes from a natural experiment in Wales, where vaccine eligibility was determined by birthdate. Researchers used rigorous statistical methods to separate the effect of the shingles vaccine from other factors. Their findings suggest that routine immunization could play an unexpected role in protecting brain health as we age.
