A new study reports on a neurobiological basis for apathy.
Feelings of apathy are present in almost half of all Alzheimer's patients.
Older adults with higher baseline apathy, as well as those with increasing apathy over time, were at higher risk of developing dementia. Neither baseline depression nor developing depression symptoms over time had a noticeable impact on a later diagnosis of dementia.
People who experience severe apathy have a significantly higher risk of developing dementia, a new study reports.
Behavioral changes in men later in life including apathy and having false beliefs was associated with a risk of faster cognitive decline.
