Description
Valentina Diaz and ten co-workers wrote a 2025 study on bone growth proteins in blood and their links to arthritis and brain measures in older adults. Bone and brain may talk through such circulating proteins. Participants were sixty-five cognitively healthy older adults in a brain aging study. About half had osteoarthritis on clinician exam.
Blood was assayed for eleven of these growth proteins. Memory and thinking scores were built from standard tests. Mood was scored with a geriatric depression scale. The team compared protein levels between arthritis and control groups, adjusting for age and sex. They then tested how arthritis-linked proteins tracked thinking and mood across all.
