In a study of more than 1 million people ages 60 and older, scientists found that exposure to wildfire smoke was associated with higher odds of later being diagnosed with dementia. The findings hint that reducing exposure to wildfire smoke might help to reduce the risk of dementia. https://bit.ly/4fdFiGB #WildfireSmoke #dementia #smoke #research #science #NIH
