Description
Yochai Schonmann and three co-authors link liver scarring to the later risk of dementia in a nationwide Israeli study, in a 2025 conference paper. Liver scarring is common and most often silent. Past studies split on whether it warns of brain decline.
The team used health records from the largest health plan in Israel, with more than eight hundred thousand members aged forty to sixty-nine and free of dementia in 2006. A blood based score sorted members by scar level at the start. The team tracked new dementia from codes, hospital notes, and drug buys. Models weighed age, sex, schooling, habits, and ills such as diabetes and stroke. Checks also cut out cases found in the first five years to guard against reverse cause.
