Air pollution may increase dementia risk

The air people breathe could increase the risk of dementia, new research suggests. A large, 17-year study found that air pollution was significantly associated with a higher risk of hospital admissions for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, as well as Parkinson’s. The researchers said current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency air-quality standards should be improved to better protect older Americans.

Your gift can make twice the impact

Cheryl Gross, a longtime supporter of the fight against Alzheimer’s, has pledged to match every donation made to our October Matching Gift Challenge, up to a total of $100,000 if we can raise the same amount by Oct. 31. Her extraordinarily generous gift is in honor of her mother, Nadine, who died from Alzheimer’s, and will support Alzheimer’s Association efforts to advance the technology that powers our global research efforts and our care and support programs.
