In a new study published in the journal Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research, brains and blood of those with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) show evidence of premature aging. A total of 281 postmortem brain samples were studied to gather this evidence. This study is the first of its kind to demonstrate such changes in the brain and blood from excessive drinking.
AUD, commonly known as alcoholism in more severe cases, has been shown to be a factor in premature death and neurological diseases. This study showed that the increased aging process effected the areas of the brain associated with executive control and working memory.
