Agent Orange, Pink, ... In a nationally representative sample of more than 300,000 veterans of the Vietnam era, it was found that exposure to Agent Orange was associated with an approximately 2-fold increased risk of being diagnosed with incident dementia and an earlier age of dementia diagnosis. Cognitive impairment is dangerous on a variety of levels, including making concerted decisions for yourself and your loved ones. I'm not suggesting there's anything to be concerned about regarding your status, I don't know you, I've not seen your evaluations.
