Who was studied95 people with Alzheimer's disease
What changedThinner retinal nerve-cell layers and lower retinal blood-vessel density were linked to more brain shrinkage in people with Alzheimer's disease
The catchSystemic vascular health could partly explain the link between retinal changes and brain shrinkage
