New Study Links Marriage and Risk for Dementia A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society reports that spousal caregivers of a dementia patient may have an increased risk for developing dementia themselves. This interesting population based study is the first to empirically explore the effects of caring for a spouse with dementia on caregivers own cognitive status. Results suggest that spouses, particularly male, have a six times greater risk for developing dementia. Prolonged and intense stress may be a major factor in these findings.
