[center]East, Southeast Have the Most Alzheimer’s Cases, New
U.S. Study Shows[/center]
SNIPPETS:
The study covered all 3,142 U.S. counties. ... ...
The highest rates of Alzheimer's, in counties with 10,000 or
more seniors, were in Miami-Dade County, Fla.; Baltimore City,
Md.; and Bronx County, N.Y., with 16.6% each.
Close behind were Prince George's County, Md., at 16.1%; Hinds
County, Miss., 15.5%; Orleans Parish, La., 15.4%; Dougherty
County, Ga., 15.3%; Orangeburg County, Ca., 15.2%; and Imperial
County, Ca. and El Paso County, Texas, each at 15%.
Age is a primary risk factor for Alzheimer's. Older Black
Americans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer's or other
dementias as older white Americans. Older Hispanic adults are
about 1.5 times as likely to have Alzheimer's or other dementias
as older white folks, the study authors noted. ... ...
About 6.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease.
The West and Southwest are projected to have the largest
percentage increase between 2020 and 2025.

Effects of cocoa extract and a multivitamin on cognitive

[center]Effects of cocoa extract and a multivitamin on cognitive
function: A randomized clinical trial.[/center]
SNIPPET:
In conclusion, daily intake of cocoa extract for 3 years had no
effect on cognition. However, COSMOS-Mind provides the first
evidence from a large-scale, long-term, pragmatic RCT to suggest
that daily use of a safe, readily accessible, and relatively
low-cost MVM supplement has the potential to improve or protect
cognitive function for older women and men. An additional trial
is needed to confirm these findings in a more representative
cohort and to explore potential mechanisms for cognitive
benefit. This work may ultimately have important public health
implications for standard of care to improve or protect
cognitive function in older adults.
