NARFE January 2024
As we begin the new year, we also reflect on our accomplishments in 2023. We couldn't be prouder about NARFE's incredible fundraising achievement for Walk to End Alzheimer's® — more than $107,000 raised to help advance Alzheimer's care, support and research! This is an amazing milestone, and we are incredibly grateful. Thanks to NARFE's inspiring fundraising efforts, we're making progress in the fight against Alzheimer's. We appreciate you and all you do to help end this devastating disease. Thank you, NARFE members, for your commitment to our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Common stomach bug linked to Alzheimer's risk
A common stomach bug may be related to increased risk of Alzheimer's, new research suggests. Researchers found that people 50-plus in a U.K.-based study who had Heliobacter pylori — an infection that can cause indigestion, gastritis, ulcers and even stomach cancer — also had an 11 percent higher risk of developing Alzheimer's. More research is needed to clarify the relationship between infectious agents and Alzheimer's disease. Learn more.

An early diagnosis provides a range of benefits, including access to care and support, the ability to explore treatments that may provide some relief of symptoms, and the chance to enroll in clinical trials.
