Those over age 65 have a 69% higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia by one year after a CoVid infection of any severity.  This the conclusion of a Case Western Reserve retrospective cohort study of more than 6.2 million older adults.

 

The relative risk of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis rises with age from 59% for those 65 to 74 to 69% for those 75 to 84 and up to 89% for those 85 years and over.  The over risk is higher for older women at 82% than older men at 50%.  The Alzheimer’s risk if higher for both Black and White elders at about 61-62% than for Hispanics at only 25%.

 

The bottom line: the risk of dementia is yet another reason to avoid EVER contracting CoVid.  You achieve that goal by vaccination, selective masking, and safe dining practices.
