Adults with gum disease may be more likely to have signs of damage to the brain's white matter, called white matter hyperintensities, than people without gum disease, according to a study published in Neurology Open Access.

Older adults with gum disease are more likely to display signs of white matter damage in the brain, which is correlated with memory decline, balance issues, and higher stroke risk. That is according to an October study published in Neurology.

Taking some 7,500 steps each day may slow the progression of early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study.
