Early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease as early as possible
JAMA Neurology has published a study revealing that the first symptom of a mental condition that can eventually lead to Alzheimer's disease is loss of smell. This study was conducted on the elderly.
Alzheimer's disease is directly related to cognitive impairment and dementia in various forms. The experience tested their sense of smell. Different odors were smelled and given four choices: banana, turpentine, onion, paint thinner or gasoline.
Subjects were then followed over a period of 3.5 years and the results were quite incredible. 250 people in the study group developed a mild cognitive impairment, usually related to memory and judgment. But even mild, these disorders can lead to dementia or other mental health problems. 64 of these 250 people showed symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
The surprising fact is that people with the worst test scores were 2.2 times more likely to develop a form of cognitive impairment. This ultimately led to discover that a bad sense of smell is related to the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
On the other hand, subjects with better scores on the smell test have a greater chance of improvement in mental illness.
