TY - JOUR AU - Peters, Ruth AU - Burch, Lisa AU - Warner, James AU - Beckett, Nigel AU - Poulter, Ruth AU - Bulpitt, Christopher PY - 2008 DA - 2008/08/08 TI - Haemoglobin, anaemia, dementia and cognitive decline in the elderly, a systematic review JO - BMC Geriatrics SP - 18 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Anaemia may increase risk of dementia or cognitive decline. There is also evidence that high haemoglobin levels increase risk of stroke, and consequently possible cognitive impairment. The elderly are more at risk of developing dementia and are also more likely to suffer from anaemia, although there is relatively little longitudinal literature addressing this association.
