Researchers have found that people who suffer with a common condition which causes them to tremor involuntarily could face a much higher chance of developing dementia
A new study has found that people who have a common condition causing them to shake without meaning to could be more likely to get dementia. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas looked at the link between people with essential tremor and dementia. They found that dementia, which affects memory, is up to three times more common in people with this shaking condition.
There are signs that essential tremor is passed down through families, with each child of a parent with the condition having about a 50% chance of getting a gene that could cause it. But sometimes, even people with no family history of the shaking can develop it, reports the Mirror. While there are no medical tests for the tremor, a specialist in movement disorders can diagnose it.
These rates were three times higher than rates of the general population, but lower than rates found in people with Parkinson's, researchers said. The findings will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting in April.
