The changes show an increased risk for dementia. by Julia Gray / KBND News Sources


An OHSU study appearing the medical journal "Neurology" shows that changes in white matter in the brain can indicate a person's risk for developing dementia. The study showed the more the white matter in a brain changed, the more likely that person was to develop cognitive problems. The information may eventually help researchers find treatments for diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.

Honestly, Katyzzz. Many of my friends thought that the Alzheimer's disease and Dementia are two different diseases, but it's actually the same disease that labeled in the same category.

Not really Wilson, Alzheimer's is a form of dementia, a very serious one, but there are a number of other dementias which are not Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is the one causing the most concern for the aging population, statistics are going to 'blow out' and it is very hard to care for such people. distressing for everyone.
