A recent study of more than 6 million people 65 and older found that seniors who had Covid-19 had a substantially higher risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease within a year. The study does not show that Covid-19 causes Alzheimer’s, but it adds to the growing body of research drawing links between coronavirus infection and cognitive function. “In the Alzheimer’s disease brain, the pathology starts to build up about 20 years before the symptoms begin,” said Dr.
Heather Snyder, vice president of medical and scientific relations at the Alzheimer’s Association, notes that broader implications of the pandemic could have played into the study’s findings. “The pandemic presented serious delays for individuals seeking out medical diagnoses like Alzheimer’s, meaning these results could be driven by those who already had Alzheimer’s when they were infected but had not yet sought out a formal diagnosis,” she said.
