Scientists say their findings may help uncover new ways to prevent the degenerative illness which currently has no cure.
Alzheimer's disease affects around 90,000 Scots and scientists have uncovered a possible link between the debilitating condition and stress.
Previous studies have demonstrated a possible association between chronic stress, depression and dementia. The latest, published in Alzheimer's Research & Therapy on Sunday, offers a new understanding into the risk factors for dementia and future preventative measures. “The risk is still very small and the causality is unknown,” says the study’s last author Axel C. Carlsson, docent at the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet. “That said, the finding is important in that it enables us to improve preventative efforts and understand links with the other risk factors for dementia.”
The study shows that the risk of Alzheimer’s disease was more than twice as high in patients with chronic stress and in separate patients with depression than it was in patients without either condition.
