Recent research from McGill University suggests a link between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in people aged 50 and above. Analyzing health data of over four million UK residents, the study found that those with symptomatic H. pylori infection had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s. This research underscores the importance of investigating potential prevention strategies, including eradicating H. pylori, to combat the rising prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease globally.
