Just interested reading some research, but not sure if it relates to alzheimers or vasclar dementia or both. Significant unexplained weight loss was mentioned, prior to diagnosis which was something we had certainly observed, despite the fact that mum seemed to eat well.....and also a strange link which was loss of smell ......Mother in law had mentioned that she had lost all sense of smell again well before we would have considered that anything was wrong, and I was intrigued to read a link between this and alzheimers/vascular dementia.
I suppose rationally if she had lost her sense of smell food would loose its appeal??
Anyone else heard of this ..?
