Financially challenged seniors may have an increased risk of developing dementia
|
|
|
Poverty later in life may be associated with an increased risk of dementia, new research suggests. According to the researchers, many factors could be involved in the study's findings. For example, financial status may be a stand-in for a poorly managed diet and unhealthy lifestyle, both of which are linked to increased risk for dementia. Access to good health care and making healthy lifestyle decisions may have a significant impact on dementia risk.
