Our findings not only ordsprog

Our findings not only support the hypothesis that vascular factors contribute to dementia in the elderly, they are highly suggestive that a diminished cerebral blood flow indeed causes brain damage. This gives us a clue to the genesis of dementia.

This gives us a clue to the genesis of dementia. The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring both high and low blood pressure in older adults.

A large number of elderly people are taking medications that can mimic early dementia and are likely to be classed as having early dementia.

Earlier research has shown that poor blood flow can damage these parts of the brain. So one theory is that exercise may prevent damage and might even help repair these areas by increasing blood flow.

I think it's surprising, but we see more and more evidence for the fact that blood flow is more important in the developing of dementia in older men and women than was previously thought.

We know from MRI scans that small strokes are very common in the brains of elderly patients. Such small strokes have been linked with dementia, and may also put patients at risk for a major stroke. The power of the technique we describe in the paper is that it allows us to study the response of the brain to stroke in a controlled way. By understanding what happens, we hope to learn how to prevent the major damage associated with stroke.

Midlife obesity, high systolic blood pressure, and high total cholesterol were all significant risk factors for dementia, each of them increasing the risk around two times.

Blood pressure will tend to go up. Blood flow will be decreased and there's actually damage to the brain.

People who were obese in mid-life were 74 percent more likely to have dementia, while overweight people were 35 percent more likely to have dementia compared to those with normal weight.

What we're trying to do is to see whether telehealth is an appropriate way to follow patients with dementia, ... The thing about dementia is once you've seen the patient and examined the patient neurologically, most of the followup is examining mental status, which we can do over telehealth. Talking to the patient and the family on how things are going and making some changes or suggestions, be it modifications in the environment or medication treatment for some of the behaviours?that works well over telehealth.

What we showed is that for the surgery to be a risk factor, it has to be done before menopause. If before age 46 you remove two ovaries, you get a 70 percent increased risk of dementia. A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. And we discovered that women who have only one ovary removed before age 38 -- this is a surgery more often done in younger women -- we see a 260 percent increase in dementia. That is quite a dramatic and somewhat unexpected finding.

This research is intriguing because it associates genetic risk for dementia with twins' cognitive deficits, even in the absence of dementia. The differences in cognitive deficits between identical and fraternal twins are also important, suggesting that the twins who were more similar genetically had the greater risk.

It's about an elderly couple, and the wife needs the attention of a dementia unit in assisted living. He goes to washing dishes, for the employee discount. But he's getting old, he shakes, he's dropping plates, and he's pleading to his boss to let him keep his job so he can keep his wife in the facility.

By the time people who are already sick are identified, it's often too late to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's. By identifying early changes that could predict the development of dementia, it may also be possible to link those changes to primary risk factors that could be altered.
