Summary

This completed study looked at how lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, sleep, and stress affect brain health in 31 healthy young adults aged 18-24. Researchers measured blood markers linked to brain function and dementia risk, along with cognitive performance. The goal is to understand how early habits might protect the brain as we age.
