Early intervention can make a world of difference in slowing the progression of cognitive decline in neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
In the review, researchers analyzed data from the U.K. Biobank cohort study, which follows the 50,000 individuals of the general population between the ages of 40 and 69, to look for early manifestations of neurodegenerative diseases—including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and Lewy body dementia .
They found several early signs of cognitive and functional changes common in these three types of dementia. It’s worth noting that these pre-diagnostic signs were strongest in Alzheimer’s patients but detected in frontotemporal and Lewy body dementia patients as well. Catching these signs can initiate early intervention in sporadic dementia cases, helping to slow the progression of these debilitating diseases.This ad is displayed using third party content and we do not control its accessibility features.
