    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Aluminium is a known neurotoxin.
    • Aluminium exposure can cause encephalopathy, a brain disease with specific clinical and histopathological features.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evidence associating aluminium with neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies investigating the link between aluminium and dementia.

    Main Results:

    • Aluminium is definitively linked to encephalopathy.
    • The evidence associating aluminium with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is limited and not definitive.

    Conclusions:

    • While aluminium can cause brain disease, its role in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is not established.
  • Further research is needed to clarify any potential association between aluminium and dementia.
