Vaccinul împotriva demenței pe care unii oameni îl fac fără să știe

A recent discovery in Wales suggests that a shingles vaccine may significantly reduce the risk of dementia. Over 55 million people currently live with dementia worldwide, and this number is expected to rise. A study found that those vaccinated against shingles had about a 20% lower chance of developing dementia. Researchers are exploring the biological mechanisms behind this potential link, including the role of herpes simplex virus in neurodegenerative diseases. While results are promising, further clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings and understand the vaccine's effects on dementia.
