Summary
This study reports a unique association between Alzheimer's disease and multiple reflux conditions, including gastroesophageal and vesicoureteral reflux. The findings suggest a potential link between these conditions and Alzheimer's disease pathology.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Gastroenterology
- Urology
Background:
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder.
- Multiple types of reflux (buccosalivary, gastroesophageal, vesicoureteral, urethroprostatic, urethrovesicular) and bladder/bowel dysfunction are observed.
- The co-occurrence of these conditions is rare and warrants investigation.
