 This paper examined the relationship between exposure to general anesthesia and cognitive decline in older adults. The authors found that those who received anesthesia experienced a faster rate of cognitive decline compared to those who did not receive anesthesia. This suggests that exposure to general anesthesia may be linked to poorer cognitive health in older adults. This article was authored by Katrina Eldevik, U.I. Sprung, Michelle Mielke, and others.
