A new dementia-related symptom
According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, a sharp decline in a person’s sense of smell can be an early indicator of dementia, as memory’s ability to recognize different smells decreases.
These results can be useful for those who monitor daily signs of illness in their lives, for example, your inability to smell shampoo, conditioner or shower gel may indicate the need to see your GP.
“This study provides evidence that a rapid decline in the sense of smell is an indicator to watch out for,” said lead author Jayant M. Pinto, a professor of surgery at the University of Chicago.
