Housecall for Health: Stress & Alzheimer’s

Major stressful moments in life could affect your risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in this edition of “Housecall for Health”:

Going through a major life crisis may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. A 40 year study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden found having more lifetime stressers like divorce, death of a loved one or unemployment, increased the chances of developing Alzheimer’s by 21% and other forms of dementia by 15%. Experts say behavioral therapy to cope with stress could protect the brain later in life.
