Risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease increases by 50-80% in older adults who have had COVID-19 (Reduce inflammation sources)

Older people who were infected with COVID-19 show a substantially higher risk—as much as 50% to 80% higher than a control group—of developing Alzheimer's disease within a year, according to a study of more than 6 million patients 65 and older.

Researchers report that people 65 and older who contracted COVID-19 were more prone to developing Alzheimer's disease in the year following their COVID diagnosis. And the highest risk was observed in women at least 85 years old.

The findings showed that the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease in older people nearly doubled (0.35% to 0.68%) over a one-year period following infection with COVID. The researchers say it is unclear whether COVID-19 triggers new development of Alzheimer's disease or accelerates its emergence.

"The factors that play into the development of Alzheimer's disease have been poorly understood, but two pieces considered important are prior infections, especially viral infections, and inflammation," said Pamela Davis.

"If this increase in new diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease is sustained, the wave of patients with a disease currently without a cure will be substantial, and could further strain our long-term care resources," Davis said. "Alzheimer's disease is a serious and challenging disease, and we thought we had turned some of the tide on it by reducing general risk factors such as hypertension, heart disease, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Now, so many people in the U.S. have had COVID and the long-term consequences of COVID are still emerging."

Previous COVID-related studies led by CWRU have found that people with dementia are twice as likely to contract COVID; those with substance abuse disorder orders are more likely to contract COVID; and that 5% of people who took Paxlovid for treatment of COVID symptoms experienced rebound infections within a month.

You can’t do much to change your viral infection situation, but you can reduce sources of inflammation to help mitigate the added risk.

More likely the jabs

“More likely the jabs”

I agree.

[Thommas]

OR..

Older people likely to develop Alzheimer's within a year are 65% more likely to contract Covid-19.

Why infection and not shot? My understanding is the shot produces significantly more inflammation for a greater amount of time, possibly even for your lifetime as shown by some researchers.

Again, what nearly any person with a brain was saying, that no one knew the long-term consequences of the unknown "vaccination". And we still don't fully know the long-term effects.

But Democrats, the corrupt MSM, and the tech Nazis, doubled down and forbade anyone from even daring to question. They pretty much literally held people down and injected them with an unknown out of compulsion of losing one's job or being socially condemned.

What was done was evil.

Thanks for the ping.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

What’s that?

[PROCON]

I'm 71, never jabbed and haven't had Covid, (that I'm aware of).

But I will admit to having memory lapses, hey, I'm old, cut me some slack! 😎

My take from the article is to handle, as best you can, "those things that you CAN CONTROL":
Increase your consumption of anti-oxidants (berries, fruits and vegetables, etc.)
Increase your use of herbs and spices known to have anti-viral properties (Turmeric, garlic, etc.)
Maintain a balanced diet, and add daily, or frequent vitamin supplements.
Maintain an active lifestyle, challenge yourself, and get outside exercise- don't become a couch potato
Your brain will stay active as long as you are active, and work on improving your thought processes with games, hobbies,
and activities that stimulate and require thinking, especially with others (playing cards, checkers, fishing, gardening, etc.)

[GOPJ]

Lots of good ideas there...

[AndyTheBear]

So wait do you mean that people who are prone to suffer from one pathogen might be more prone to suffer from another? Mind totally blown.../s

[AndyTheBear]

Well I am uhm...wait a minute how old am I..well never mind, my point is I have never, what was it I have never had? I forgot.

[AppyPappy]

Phew. I am 64

[bgill]

Yep, notice they didn’t distinguish between those who got jabbed or not.

One of the most important things to do is show up here - to let police state thugs know we’re not intimidated.

People with families and jobs - young conservatives- have a lot to lose. Which is all the more reason for us to show up every day and give the thugs the finger.
