Alzheimers Dementia: People with dementia are more likely to get new crowns, regardless of age

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world for more than a year, and the elderly have been found to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19: For example, in the UK, 90% of COVID-related deaths are among people over 60 years old, while 80 years old or older Those above were found to be 20 times more at risk than those between 50 and 59 years old

In addition to other chronic complications, including heart vascular and respiratory diseases, hypertension, diabetes , obesity and cancer, dementia has been identified as a risk factor COVID-19's

In addition, age is the main risk factor for the development of dementia (especially Alzheimer's disease [AD]), which makes the association between COVID-19 and all-cause dementia or AD may be interpreted as the average age of dementia patients Greater than those without dementia

The results show that all causes of dementia, especially AD, are related to a higher COVID-19 positive diagnosis and hospitalization risk, regardless of age.

All-cause dementia and AD increase COVID-19-related deaths, and all-cause dementia has a unique relationship with increased deaths in patients ≥80 years of age

The important significance of this study of more than 10,000 people is that it has found that all-cause dementia and AD are risk factors for the severity of COVID19 and death, and this association has nothing to do with age
