OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
In addition, 134 subjects (26.6%) had a history of depression, with 88 of these people developing it before the age of 60 years, and 46 of them developing it after the age of 60 years.
The researches diagnosed dementia in the subjects with criteria recognized by the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association, a part of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke.
The researchers concluded that the risk of acquiring Alzheimer’s disease was four times more likely if a person had a history of depression before the age of 60 years.
If depression occurred after the age of 60 years, then the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease was about 2.5 times as likely if one was not depressed at any point in their lives.
However, the researchers then compared the size of the hippocampus and the amygdale in those reporting depression and those depression-free.
They did not find any correlation between brain size and depression.
They concluded that a shrinking brain is not a sign that would indicate the presence of Alzheimer’s disease.
Specifically, their conclusion, as stated within their abstract, was: “History of depression, and particularly an early onset, but not presence of depressive symptoms increased the risk for Alzheimer disease. This risk was not mediated by smaller hippocampal or amygdalar volumes.”
