Couple navigates Alzheimer’s together

Alzheimer’s Association National Early-Stage Advisor Ricci Sanchez was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s in 2019 at the age of 56. On our blog, she celebrates her bond with her husband and care partner, Andy, and shares what they’ve learned during their experience with the disease.

High heart rate linked to dementia risk

A study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia®: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association found that a high resting heart rate in older adults was associated with a greater risk of dementia. Followed for up to 12 years, study participants with a resting heart rate of 80 beats or more per minute had an average 55% higher risk of dementia than those with a heart rate of 60 to 69 beats per minute. The study doesn’t show causation, but the results add to evidence that a relationship exists between heart health and brain health as we age.
