Decrease risk of incident all-cause dementia by quintiles of the polyphenol pattern
Sophie Lefèvre-Arbogast S et al. Neurology. (2018); 90 (22) e1979-e1988
Compared with participants in the lower quintile of pattern score, those in the
higher quintile had a 50% lower risk of dementia
Q1 < 26 mg/d
Q5 > 195 mg/d

Our microbiome is changing as we age

The brain and our body closely interact through the gut-brain axis
Gut microbes can produce neurotransmitters:
?
DA
Tryptophan
5-HT
GABA
Ach
Gut microbes can stimulate immune cells
to produce cytokines:
These
neurotransmitters
might signal the
brain via the
vagus nerve
These cytokines
might travel to the
brain via blood
vessels of the
circulatory system
These metabolites
might travel to the
brain via blood
vessels or
stimulate gut
epithelial cells to
produce
neurotransmitters
that activate the
vagus nerve
Gut microbes can produce metabolites:
Microbial
fermentation end-
products (SCFA,
butyrate regulate
epigenetic
synthesis of BDNF
