flag Subtle driving changes may signal early dementia, a U.S. study finds.

flag Subtle changes in driving—like driving less, sticking to familiar routes, or making more errors—may signal early dementia in older adults, a U.S. study of 220 people in St. Louis found. flag Researchers linked these behaviors to white matter damage in brain regions critical for vision and movement, even before memory or thinking problems appeared. flag Those taking blood pressure medication showed fewer risky driving habits despite brain changes, suggesting a possible protective effect. flag The findings highlight driving patterns as a practical tool for early detection of cognitive decline.
