TUESDAY, July 3 (HealthDay News) -- Losing your sense of smell might be an early sign of cognitive decline, a new study finds.
"It has been reported before that people who already have mild cognitive impairment have difficulty with odors," noted lead researcher Robert S. Wilson, a professor of neuropsychology at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago.
