Does Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Use Affect Dementia Progression and Survival Rates in Alzheimer's Disease? The Cache County Study
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has multiple factors that contribute to the disease process. Among these is a state of chronic inflammation that is endured by the brain during the aging process. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) decreases the amount of neuroinflammation sustain...
