Speech problems, such as repeating questions and difficulty finding the right words, are among the most common self-reported cognitive concerns among older adults. A study funded by NIA found that speaking more slowly and taking longer and more frequent pauses are linked to early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Learn more about the study and how these subtle changes in speech are linked to increases in tau protein in certain areas of the brain: https://lnkd.in/e9X3Q9vE #NIAFunded #NIHAging #Alzheimers #Speech
