In this article, I introduce a recent study from the Cleveland Clinic that gives us an informed indication of Alzheimer's-Like Brain Impairment in Covid-19 patients. The research paper, authored by 11 scientists, was published on BMC, part of Springer Nature's Alzheimer's Research and Therapy.

According to WHO (World Health Organization), around 50 million people have dementia, and there are nearly ten million new cases every year. Dementia refers to deterioration in memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform daily activities.

Even though dementia is associated with older adults, many young people suffer from this syndrome. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer's disease covers at least 60% of dementia cases.

Dementia impacts several aspects of our lives, including physical, psychological, social, and economic. It not only impacts patients with dementia but also their families and carers. As we know, Alzheimer's disease currently affects 6.2 million Americans.

Whenever I hear about a research study related to cognitive health, I'm all ears. Many human beings are suffering from conditions of cognitive decline. It is inevitable as we age. However, experiencing the decline in younger ages is not desirable. Now, Covid-19 is making this disease worse.
