“Anxiety: An early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease?,” EurekAlert

“From their research, the team found that higher brain amyloid beta burden was associated with increasing anxiety symptoms over time in cognitively normal older adults. The results suggest that worsening anxious-depressive symptoms may be an early predictor of elevated amyloid beta levels – and, in turn AD — and provide support for the hypothesis that emerging neuropsychiatric symptoms represent an early manifestation of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Oh,oh! News like this makes me anxious.
