      Hi Gary

      I think I actually got my information wrong, I googled the connection between AS and dementia and I went straight to a research site, but when I googled AS and associated conditions, dementia wasn't mentioned. I think any chronic inflammation to do with any condition puts us at higher risk which puts most of the population at a higher risk!!
