“We found drinking greater than seven units of alcohol weekly is associated with iron accumulation in the brain,” Topiwala underscored.
“Higher brain iron is linked to poorer cognitive performance, and iron accumulation could underlie alcohol-related cognitive decline.”
The study did have some limitations, including how each participant’s alcohol consumption was self-reported and may have been underestimated.
However, the researchers deemed this the only reasonable method to study such a large population of adults.
And with moderate drinking being such a normalized habit in popular culture, even a small link to cognitive decline may have drastic implications across the global adult population.
In turn, cutting down on weekly alcohol consumption may be the safest bet to ward off any disease.
