NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Among people in their 70s, anemia may flag an increased risk of developing dementia later in life, according to a new study.
Researchers following more than 2,500 U.S. adults in their 70s for over a decade found that those who started out with anemia were 65 percent more likely to develop dementia by the end of the study period.
