Description
Minali Prasad and a large team of co-authors test whether blocked retinal vessels go with dementia in a study from 2024. The team compared 474 patients with a blocked retinal vein or artery against 948 matched patients without blockage. Odds of dementia were worked out after adjusting for heart, demographic, and eye factors.
Patients with a blocked retinal vein had more than twice the odds of dementia overall, and higher odds of vascular dementia. Both central and branch vein blocks showed the link. Artery blockage showed no such link, and no blockage type linked to Alzheimer's disease. The authors read vein blockage as a warning sign worth noting.
