Studies have found that people taking NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen) have a reduced risk of cognitive decline or dementia. But the jury is still out, since clinical trials have had conflicting results. The drugs may help, in part, by reducing the chronic inflammation that plays a role in Alzheimer’s. Don't start taking NSAIDs to protect your brain, since the benefit is uncertain and the drugs have potential side effects. But if you're taking one for other purposes, you may be getting this added benefit.
