    A metabolic signature indicative of a healthy lifestyle was identified in 136,628 dementia-free participants from the UK Biobank.

  • 2

    The metabolic signature was associated with a lower risk of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's dementia, and vascular dementia.

  • 3

    Mendelian randomization indicated potential causal relationships between identified metabolites and dementia risk.

  • 4

    Structural brain reserve, particularly in regions like the hippocampus, mediated the relationship between metabolic signature and dementia risk.

  • 5

    Findings highlight the intricate connections between lifestyle, metabolism, and brain health in relation to dementia risk.
