- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is linked to cognitive impairment (CI) and increased dementia risk.
- Cognitive deficits in IBD patients involve memory, attention, and executive function.
- Factors contributing to CI include disease activity, chronic inflammation, and psychological stress.
- Biologic therapies for IBD may help reduce neuroinflammation and mitigate cognitive decline.
- More research, including longitudinal studies and clinical trials, is needed to confirm therapies' neuroprotective roles.
