In older adults, however, vitamin deficiencies are frequent. Blood tests can determine whether a deficiency exists. B12 deficiency is common, and can lead to an Alzheimer-like dementia if it progresses. People with PD often make dietary changes, and it's possible that some of these changes could lead to such confusion, independently of medications.
