Alzheimer’s disease has emerged as a critical comorbidity of COVID-19. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection and are prone to severe clinical outcomes.
On the other hand, people with COVID-19 were at significantly increased risk for a new diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, especially those aged 65 and older. The risk could increase by 69 percent within one year after an initial COVID-19 diagnosis and by 89 percent in people aged more than 85 years old and in women.
What Led to Alzheimer’s Disease Worsening During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Research of complete autopsies on patients who died from COVID-19 found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could be detected in the human brain from the time of the acute attack to more than seven months following symptom onset. In addition, the virus could be widely distributed and predominantly present in multiple respiratory and non-respiratory tissues, including the brain, of patients who died from severe COVID-19.
