Cognition and Constipation
<p>Constipation is an unpleasant symptom that most of us have experienced at some time in our lives. Although annoying, it has generally been considered relatively harmless, but now, according to research presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference held in Amsterdam July 16–20<strong>, </strong>experiencing less frequent bowel movements is associated with cognitive decline. The study looked at 515 people around 67 years old who suffered chronic constipation — defined as having no more than one bowel movement every three days or more — and found they showed worse cognition, about equal to gaining three years of aging, and had a 73 percent higher chance of subjective cognitive decline.</p>
