Global Increase of , Neurological Disorders , 'Very Concerning,' Researchers Say.
'Newsweek' reports that a new study
warns that neurological disorders have
become more common worldwide.
According to a team of international researchers,
the number of people with such conditions has
risen "substantially" over the past thirty years.
These conditions include Alzheimer's disease,
as well as other forms of dementia,
meningitis and stroke. .
In 2021, the team found that 3.4 billion people had
one of these neurological conditions, accounting for
approximately 43% of the world's total population.
Researchers attribute the alarming
statistic to a rapidly aging population and
increases in lifestyle risk factors.

'Newsweek' reports that the team's findings highlight the
need for more research into these neurological conditions,
which have proven to be extremely difficult to treat.

Because many neurological conditions
lack cures, and access to medical care
is often limited, understanding
modifiable risk factors and the
potentially avoidable neurological
condition burden is essential to
help curb this global health crisis, Katrin Seeher, study co-lead author and mental health
specialist at WHO's Brain Health Unit, via 'Newsweek'.

progressing rapidly offering
hope through new treatments
for diseases like dementias and
through better understanding
of lifestyle modifications

In 2023 air pollution remained a global health
catastrophe, IQAir’s global data set provides
an important reminder of the resulting
injustices and the need to implement the
many solutions that exist to this problem. , Aidan Farrow, senior air quality scientist at
