Olfactory function in people with genetic risk of dementia.

Irish journal of medical science - 1 Jan 2000

Salerno-Kennedy R, Cusack S, Cashman K D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Screening for sensorial impairment is a secondary objective in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, including dementias. For example, olfactory dysfunction is among the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. There has been no study of olfactory function in Irish subjects at risk of dementia. AIM: To investigate olfactory function in non-demented Irish persons, who carry genetic risk factors for...
