Health News Updates from Reddy-Care- Muscle Strength and Lower Alzheimer's Risk

A new study shows that older people with stronger muscles are at reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A news dispatch from Reuters Health this week has cited a study conducted by the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago which found that the greater a person's muscle strength, the lower the likelihood of an Alzheimers diagnosis over a four-year period. Researcher Patricia A. Boyle of the Center told Reuters that the study's findings support the link between physical health and cognition in aging and the importance of maintaining good physical function and strength. For details on the study consult the November 9th Archives of Neurology.
