Subject: Odours 'help spot
dementia'
Those who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease performed poorly

The odours also included clove, smoke, menthol, pineapple, natural gas,
soap and strawberry. Doctors have known for some time that smell is one of
the first things to go when someone develops dementia.
