Wildfire Smoke Exposure and Incident Dementia Key PointsQuestion Is long-term exposure to wildfire smoke associated with incident dementia diagnosis? Findings In this open cohort study of more than 1.2 million Kaiser Permanente Southern California members, long-term exposure to wildfire and nonwildfire fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was associated with dementia diagnosis, with stronger associations observed in potentially vulnerable subgroups.

WATCH TIME: 2 minutes"Reproducibility is the cornerstone of good science, it will be important to see similar research conducted in other study populations and geographic contexts to see how consistent the finding of an association between wildfire, PM 2.5 exposure, and dementia is [among patients]."Prior research has shown an association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution, such as fine particulate matter less than 2.5μm in diameter (PM2.5), and incident dementia.

WATCH TIME: 7 minutes"For every one unit increase in the concentration of wildfire PM 2.5 over a 3-year average window, there was a roughly 21% increase in the odds of a new dementia diagnosis."Previous studies have shown an association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution, including fine particulate matter less than 2.5μm in diameter (PM2.5), and incident dementia.

Trends in Traumatic Brain Injury Mortality in the US
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in the US.1 Examination of long-term trends in TBI-related mortality is essential to yield insights into vulnerable population subgroups. We sought to characterize nationally representative trends in TBI-related mortality.
