The aetiologies and origins of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Huntington's (HD), are complex multifaceted. A growing body evidence suggests that the gut microbiome plays crucial roles in development progression diseases. Clinicians have come to realize therapeutics targeting potential halt This narrative review examines alterations AD, PD, ALS HD, highlighting close relationship between brain Processes mediate microbiome-brain communication including immunological, vagus nerve circulatory pathways, evaluated. Furthermore, we summarize for diseases modify its metabolites, diets, probiotics prebiotics, microbial antibacterials faecal transplantation. Finally, current challenges future directions discussed.

Abstract This narrative review explores the relationship between air pollution and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). Historically, has been linked primarily to respiratory cardiovascular issues, but recent evidence suggests that it may also impact neurological health. With global increase in diseases, understanding environmental risk factors become crucial. The synthesizes findings from studies, highlighting potential role of pollutants—particularly fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), heavy metals—in onset progression NDs. Key mechanisms under investigation include brain inflammation microglial activation, which are believed contribute processes. Animal human studies have shown correlations exposure increased cognitive decline disorders. Research indicates exacerbate neuroinflammation cause white abnormalities, disrupt neural communication function. Additionally, emerging like residential greenness climate action could mitigate some these adverse effects. Despite advancements, significant knowledge gaps remain, particularly regarding long-term chronic specific molecular pathways involved. shows need for further research clarify develop targeted interventions. Addressing pollution’s on requires comprehensive public health strategies, including stricter regulations awareness, alongside continued into preventive therapeutic measures.

Abstract Inconsistent findings exist regarding the potential association between polluted air and Parkinson’s disease (PD), with unclear insights into role of inherited sensitivity. This study sought to explore link various pollutants PD risk, investigating whether genetic susceptibility modulates these associations. The population-based involved 312,009 initially PD-free participants complete genotyping data. Annual mean concentrations PM 2.5 , 10 NO 2 x were estimated, a polygenic risk score (PRS) was computed assess individual risks for PD.

Compared lowest quartile pollution, highest quartiles pollution showed HRs CIs 1.247 (1.089–1.427) 1.201 (1.052–1.373) incidence, respectively.

Abstract Previous studies have indicated increased dementia risk associated with fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure; however, the findings are inconsistent. In this systematic review, we assessed association between long-term PM exposure and outcomes using Burden of Proof meta-analytic framework, which relaxes log-linear assumptions to better characterize relative functions quantify unexplained between-study heterogeneity (PROSPERO, ID CRD42023421869). Here report a meta-analysis 28 longitudinal cohort published up June 2023 that investigated outcomes. We derived risk–outcome scores (ROSs), highly conservative measures effect size evidence strength, mapped onto 1–5-star rating from ‘weak and/or inconsistent evidence’ ‘very strong consistent evidence’. identified significant nonlinear relationship dementia, minimum 14% averaged across levels 4.5 26.9 µg m −3 (the 15th 85th percentile range included studies), reference 2.0 ( n = 49, ROS 0.13, two stars). found Alzheimer’s disease 12, 0.32, three stars) but not vascular dementia.

Protective associations of greenspace with Parkinson's disease (PD) have been observed in some studies. Visual exposure to seems be important for the proposed pathways underlying these associations. However, most studies use overhead-view measures (e.g., satellite imagery, land-classification data) that do not capture street-view and cannot distinguish between specific types. We aimed evaluate hospitalizations a PD diagnosis code (PD-involved hospitalization).
