The project will describe, for the first time, how health anxiety might be a contributory risk factor for declining memory and thinking processes in healthy older adults. It will investigate the possible link between health anxiety and the growing incidence of dementia and explore the potential for an early-intervention based on this possible dementia vulnerability factor and investigate whether there are underlying differences in the brain structure of healthy older adults and dementia patients related to the extent of one's health-related worries.

该项目将首次描述健康焦虑如何成为健康老年人记忆力和思维过程下降的一个危险因素。它将调查健康焦虑与痴呆症发病率不断上升之间的可能联系，并探索基于这种可能的痴呆症脆弱性因素进行早期干预的可能性，并调查健康老年人和痴呆症患者的大脑结构是否存在潜在差异与一个人的健康相关担忧的程度有关。
