A new study has found that people who are exposed to air pollution are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. The study, which was published in the journal Neurology, found that people who lived in areas with high levels of air pollution had a 50% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than people who lived in areas with low levels of air pollution. The study also found that the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease increased with the amount of air pollution exposure. For example, people who lived in areas with the highest levels of air pollution had a 75% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than people who lived in areas with the lowest levels of air pollution. The study's findings suggest that air pollution may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the specific mechanisms by which air pollution may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
