A study published in the journal E Clinical Medicine suggests there may be
a link between air pollution and an increased risk of dementia and strokes.
While the researchers use hospital data and an analysis
of over 400,000 people to conduct the study,
it found that in areas of high pollution,
the risk of a stroke turning into dementia increased each year
spent in a high air pollution area.
Researchers found that strokes and dementia can create
bigger risks of having a more serious case
of both.
