Being Single Linked To Increased Risk Of Alzheimer’s

Washington (dbTechno) – According to a new study, people who are single face an increased risk later in life of developing Alzheimer’s.

Apparently, people who are not married, and do not live with a significant other of some kind are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s later in life.

The study was carried out by Swedish researchers, and found that people who were single, living alone in their 40s or 50s faced a 50% increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s later in life.

In the past, studies have shown that social interaction helps people and prevents cognitive decline.

The belief is that people who live alone are more prone to being less social, making them more likely to develop Alzheimer’s.

The study was presented Wednesday at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease.
