Health conditions associated with Alzheimer’s can arise well before the diagnosis of this devastating disease.
Research suggests that Alzheimer’s may be preceded by up to 10 health conditions as early as 15 years before diagnosis. Major depressive disorder was identified as the earliest associated condition, emerging nine years prior to an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. As we previously reported , other associated conditions include anxiety, constipation, and weight loss. Researchers noted that it remains unclear whether these conditions are symptoms, risk factors, causes, or early warning signs of Alzheimer’s.
Published in The Lancet Digital Health , the study by the Paris Brain institute aimed to confirm established dementia risk factors and identify new ones. The research could pave the way for earlier or new interventions for this devastating condition. Researchers analysed Alzheimer’s patient data, reviewing records from 20,214 patients in the UK over a 24-year period and 19,458 individuals in France across 21 years.
