Description
Catching the virus that caused the pandemic may raise later dementia risk, and Nika Zur and co-authors tested that link in a vast Israeli data set, in work from twenty twenty-five. Health records held more than a million adults over fifty who were dementia-free in early twenty twenty. New dementia cases were matched ten to one with peers who stayed free.
A past positive test showed up far more in cases than in peers. After other facts were weighed in, past infection linked to a higher dementia risk. No such link showed for mild cases that stayed home, the head notes in its last lines. The study adds scale to a worry that brain fog after infection may run deeper.
