Is it true that dementia causes loss of appetite?
Unclear. Multiple sources associate dementia with loss of appetite, including a study stating Alzheimer's disease causes loss of appetite and a review listing dementia among major causes of anorexia in older patients. However, the evidence covers specific dementias or contexts rather than establishing that dementia generally causes loss of appetite.
