Can dimentia and alzheimer's be linked to copd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a cause, but: Both may have smoking in common, and the COPD is going to interact adversely with the dementia, unless under good control. Also, meds used for lung can cause cognitive issues. This is a situation for both pulmonologist and neurologist to work closely.
