The role of zinc in senile dementia

C Kenn and E Gibb

Zinc deficiency has been reported in association with dementia and linked with its pathogenesis. A group of 45 elderly patients admitted to a mental hospital were given diagnoses in accordance with ICD-9, and their fasting plasma zinc levels were recorded. No difference was found in zinc levels between patients with diagnoses of senile dementia and those with other diagnoses.
