COVID-19: A Global Dementia Trigger? (Study)

The COVID-19 pandemic feels like it is finally starting to show signs of slowing down – and perhaps finally entering the endemic stage (like the flu).
But it doesn’t mean we are out of the woods yet… and it doesn’t mean we’re not continuing to learn more and more about the virus’ lasting impact on our well-being.
For instance, countless studies have found that, for certain individuals, a COVID-19 infection can have a serious impact on the brain.
One of the most well-documented findings of COVID-19 and brain health is that some folks experience ‘brain fog’ – even well after the virus has left their body.
But according to some new research, brain fog could be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to COVID-19’s brain impact.
Will COVID Cause a Surge in Dementia?
According to a sobering new study recently published in the journal JAMA Neurology, the documented cognitive issues linked to COVID could cause rates of dementia to climb.
An international research team examined nearly 1,500 COVID survivors… a mix of males and females with a median age of 67-69.
Prior to their COVID infection, none of the study participants reported having cognitive impairment or a family history of dementia.
However, just MONTHS after their bout with COVID, many began to experience memory decline.

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
After 12 months, 12.5% of the study participants developed cognitive impairment…
But for the folks that dealt with a severe case of COVID, 10% developed dementia after just SIX MONTHS!
That’s terrifying!
While the study was amongst a small group of people, it did prompt researchers to note that…
“The pandemic may substantially contribute to the world dementia burden in the future.”
More research continues to be done on COVID and its lasting impact on the brain.
In the meantime, if you have been affected by COVID-19 and are worried it has impacted your memory, have a conversation with your doctor. Explaining your symptoms and understanding the facts about COVID-19 will help guide a carefully crafted long-term plan.
