Or: Developing Alzheimer's makes you less interested in sex, makes your partner less interested in sex with you (possibly via creating problems with the relationship), and/or otherwise creates obstacles to sex.
- fer 5y agoThat was actually my first thought. The link talks about 70% decrease of Alzheimer risk over a 6 year period of Viagra use (vs lack thereof). But early Alzheimer signs have been shown to appear up to 18 years before diagnosis. Memory and thinking tests for these signs from 13 to 18 years before diagnosis show 85% higher risk in those failing.
