Smokers' lungs may hold clues to brain fog
NCT ID NCT03269721
Summary
This study aimed to understand why many people with COPD (a serious lung disease often from smoking) also experience problems with memory and thinking. Researchers examined 170 smokers, some with early signs of lung damage, using brain scans and thinking tests. The goal was to identify the physical links between lung health and brain function to help develop future strategies to protect thinking skills.
