Fraud, Scams and Dementia | Wealth Management https://www.wealthmanagement.com/client-relations/fraud-scams-and-dementia
A recent study from Rush University analyzed whether decreased awareness to scams was an early indicator of dementia. The study included more than 900 seniors in their 70s and 80s and their ability to detect scams and fraud. Researchers then examined whether there was a link between susceptibility/awareness of scams and fraud to Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairment. The seniors studied had no obvious signs of dementia or impairment at the outset. Of those studied, more than 400 later were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or cognitive impairment.
Science has determined that before symptoms of cognitive impairment become obvious, there are changes to the brain that seem to impact executive function. Many have wondered if an impaired executive function (judgment and reasoning) leaves an individual open to scams and fraud, especially with the prevalence of elder abuse. The study from Rush University appears to be the first to study a link between the two. Participants in the study who were later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or cognitive impairment demonstrated a higher likelihood of being susceptible to scams or fraud prior to the diagnosis.
