The testatrix had been diagnosed to have had early onset of Alzheimer's disease some years before her death but it was held that she still had capacity — mild to
moderate dementia not being a condition which, by itself, need necessarily impair capacity.
THURSDAY, May 17, 2018 (HealthDay News)-- A new study suggests that
moderate or even rigorous exercise won't slow mental decline in older people with
dementia.
The new study isn't «a green light to use hormone therapy for Alzheimer's or
dementia prevention,» says Victor W. Henderson, M.D., an epidemiologist and professor of neurology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, in Stanford, Calif. «It does provide some reassurance that if a woman is considering hormone therapy for
moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms, concerns about Alzheimer's disease should
not impact [her] decision.»
