“Dementia more common in people who live near highways,” by Lois A. Bowers, McKnight’s Senior Living

“People who live near major state or interstate highways have a greater risk of developing dementia than those who live farther away, according to a study of 6.6 million people published Jan. 4 by The Lancet.  …  The researchers also looked into whether traffic exposure was related to the development of Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis but found no link.”

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