A six-year study of older Australians in CHeBA’s Sydney Memory and Ageing Study has uncovered an Australian-first association between the impact of hearing loss on cognitive abilities and increased risk for dementia.
People with enlarged fluid-filled spaces in the brain around small blood vessels may be more likely to develop dementia than people whose perivascular spaces are smaller, according to a new study led by CHeBA.
Evidence suggest people with dementia are more likely to contract COVID-19 and to have severe disease outcomes from the virus, including increased risk of death.
