Giving birth to five or more children could increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to new findings. Incomplete pregnancies, on the other hand, were associated with a lower risk.
The study titled "Differential effects of completed and incomplete pregnancies on the risk of Alzheimer disease" was published in the journal Neurology on July 18.
According to the latest estimates, almost 5.7 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2018. Women make up two-thirds of the American population who have the disease.
