Advocate raises awareness in the Hispanic/Latino community

Sonia Martinez began volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association nine years ago, after her uncle was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. On our blog, Martinez talks about how she hopes to raise awareness and create lasting change in the Hispanic/Latino community by sharing her story.

Link may exist between ADHD and dementia

A family connection to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may increase the risk of Alzheimer's and dementia, new study results suggest. Researchers found that parents and grandparents of people with ADHD have a higher risk of Alzheimer's and dementia than people with no ADHD in their family. Experts caution that while the study shows a possible connection between the conditions, the results don’t prove that someone with ADHD will definitely develop Alzheimer’s or another dementia.
