The brain-reducing effects of stress, identified in people in their 40s free from dementia a

39、serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, were found to be caused by cortisol（(皮质醇). The high levels of the stress hormone may be an early warning “sign that someone may end up with dementia* the research suggests.Stress also made peoples thinking skills worse, which the Harvard Med

40、ical School study, published in the journal Neurology found. For the research, scientists led by Dr. Justin B. Echouffo-Tcheugui studied 2,231 people with an average of 49 and free of dementia. He said. Our research detected memory loss and brain shrinkage in middle-aged people before symptoms start

41、ed to show.

42、 added, Its important for physicians to give professional advice to all people with high cortisol levels.Researchers found lower scores on tests of memory and thinking in people with higher levels of cortisol than those with average levels.

It can also help reduce inflammation（发炎，and control blood sugar and blood pressure. High cortisol levels can be caused by stress, medical conditions or medi

45、cations.“Cortisol affects many different functions so it is important to fully investigate how high levels of the hormone may affect the brain, Dr Echouffo-Tcheugui said, “While other studies have examined cortisol and memory, we believe our large, community-based study is the first to explore, in m
