Contracting COVID-19 may increase Alzheimer’s risk
|
COVID-19 infection may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s for older adults, results of a new, large-scale study suggest. Researchers said people 65 and older who contracted COVID-19 were nearly 70% more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's within a year of their infection. Experts caution that if you’ve had COVID-19, it doesn’t mean you’re going to develop dementia, but talk to your doctor if your long-term symptoms include cognitive difficulties.
