Foods rich in flavonoids (such as apples, berries, or tea) are important for cognitive health, research suggests.
Blacks are at higher risk for many diseases. This is partly due to poverty, discrimination and lack of access to care. But there may be something different about the higher rates of Alzheimer’s.
Assisted living facilities are one option for seniors. But finding clear and accurate information about them isn’t easy.
We found that the key factors behind poor cognitive function were related to levels of education, being a woman, marital status and being poor.
Having better diagnostic tools will allow healthcare professionals to provide the best care possible.
Researchers are looking for ways to determine who’s most at risk for dementia and also ways to detect it early. A scientist who has studied low blood pressure makes a case for a link between the two.
