Getting vaccinated for the flu and pneumonia may reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in the future, according to two separate abstracts presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference
Not only does getting a shot reduce your chances of coming down with a nasty infection, but getting vaccinated may also reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in the future, according to two separate abstracts presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Monday.
The researchers found that getting a pneumococcal vaccine between the ages of 65-75 reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's by 25 to 30% after adjusting for sex, race, birth cohort, education, smoking and genetic risk factors.However, the largest reduction in the risk of Alzheimer's -- up to 40% -- was seen among people vaccinated against pneumonia who didn't have the risk gene.
