The risk of suffering from Alzheimer's disease is raised in those over 65 who have had Covid, according to new research.
A new study found those in this age group were likely to develop the form of dementia within a year by up to 80 per cent. Researchers believe they are 50 to 80 per cent more at risk of developing Alzheimer's than those who haven't had the virus.
Published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, findings show that the risk of the condition nearly doubled from 0.35 per cent to 0.68 per cent in older people the year after their Covid diagnosis - with women aged over 85 to be the most at risk.
Although, researchers aren't certain whether COVID-19 triggers new development of Alzheimer’s disease or accelerates its emergence. The research team analysed the anonymous health records of 6.2 million adults aged 65 and older in the United States, who received medical treatment between February 2020 and May 2021, reports Wales Online.
The people they examined had no prior diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers split everyone into two groups. All the people in one group had previously contracted Covid, and the other had no documented cases of the virus.
There were more than 400,000 people in the group who had had COVID-19 and 5.8 million in the other. Dr Pamela Davis, a research professor at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, and co-author of the study, said: "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.
“Since infection with SARS-CoV2 has been associated with central nervous system abnormalities including inflammation, we wanted to test

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Elon Musk are feuding over how the United States should handle Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And the result of their disagreement could prompt a shift in U.S. policy, the lawmaker suggested.
China still has much to gain from its current relationship with Russia even as the invasion of Ukraine drags on, turning Russia into an international pariah and threatening to rub off on China’s reputation as well. "China has, in effect, doubled down on its support for the Putin war effort, and we saw this, for instance, last month when China's third rank leader went to Moscow, spoke to the State Duma, and in very clear terms, expressed Beijing's support for Russia," Gordon Change, author of "The Coming Collapse of China," told Fox News Digital. "Then, [we] see Jinping himself when he was in Uzbekistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, actually confirmed that endorsement," Chang added. "The only conclusion that we can come to is that Beijing is not backing away from Russia." The China and Russia dynamic has remained a troubling one for the United States since even before the invasion of Ukraine started in March 2022.
