A recent study found that losing the sense of smell may be a “warning sign” of Alzheimer’s disease in the future, according to the American “Fox News” website.

“Testing a person’s ability to detect odors may be a useful way to predict future cognitive problems,” said study author Dr. Matthew Goodsmith, from the University of Chicago. He continued, “Identifying the mechanisms underlying this relationship will help us understand the role of the sense of smell in neurodegeneration.” “While more research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the level of anosmia that can predict future risk, these results may be promising,” he added.
It is noteworthy that about 55 million people around the world suffer from Alzheimer’s, including about 6.7 million in the United States, and about 900 thousand others in the United Kingdom.
