Fox News
Experts discuss new research from Stanford Medicine that found adults who received the zoster vaccine for shingles have about a 20% lower risk of developing dementia.
"If these findings are truly causal, the zoster vaccine will be both far more effective and cost-effective in preventing or delaying dementia than existing pharmaceutical interventions," the researchers noted in the study. Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
These findings also support an emerging theory that viruses impacting the nervous system can increase dementia risk.
