Well.....wouldn't this mean more men than women would die of Alzheimers.....I don't know if that's true or not....
They're trying to back up feminist theory with data...not gonna work. Check out the Nobel Prize list...
Yikes....she looks likes she's taking too much testosterone herself!
Huh?
Females are superior to males by design. Is that it, in a nutshell?
ELAINE Look at my fish... JERRY EXAMINES IT... ELAINE (CONT'D) Is he... JERRY No, but he's not looking good...
ELAINE TURNS TO TWO HUGE BODY BUILDERS IN WORKOUT WEAR...
ELAINE (DESPERATE) Please, we can't find our car. Please drive us around the parking lot to find our car. My fish are dying.
MAN #2 Can't do it.
ELAINE I can see not caring what happens to us, we're human. But what about the fish? The fish?
MAN #3 Sorry. THEY KEEP WALKING.
ELAINE That's right, go. Go home to your dumbbells. Work on your pecs. I'm really impressed.
He, he ...
Age-specific incidence rates of Alzheimer's disease: the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
Kawas C, Gray S, Brookmeyer R, Fozard J, Zonderman A.
Department of Neurology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA.
OBJECTIVE: To estimate age-specific incidence rates of AD in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). BACKGROUND: The BLSA is a volunteer cohort of normal subjects followed longitudinally with biennial evaluations at the Gerontology Research Center of the National Institute on Aging. METHODS: Subjects are 1236 participants (802 men, 434 women) in the BLSA with longitudinal follow-up between January 1985 and May 1998. The average length of follow-up was 7.5 years, with participants evaluated every 2 years by physical, neurologic, and neuropsychological examinations. Using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd ed., revised and National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke-Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association criteria, the authors diagnosed dementia and AD. RESULTS: The authors diagnosed 155 cases of dementia, of which 114 (74%) were AD. Incidence rates of AD increased with age from an estimated 0.08% per year (95% CI 0.00 to 0.43) in the 60 to 65 age group to an estimated 6.48% per year (95% CI 5.01 to 8.38) in the 85+ age group for men and women combined. The doubling time of incidence rates was estimated to be approximately 4.4 years and the median time of conversion from mild cognitive impairment to diagnosis of AD was estimated to be 4.4 years. There was a trend for women to have higher incidence rates than men and for fewer years of education to be associated with higher incidence rates; however, these effects were not significant. CONCLUSION: Incidence rates for AD in the BLSA are consistent with published rates in other studies. The longitudinally followed subjects of the BLSA offer a unique opportunity to prospectively investigate the antecedents of AD.
Hey cutie...I'm losing cells by the minute...wantta hang out??
( :-D
lol
George: What is Tungsten or Wolfram?
Alex Trebek: We were looking for 'What is Tungsten, or Wolfram'.
Jerry: Is this a repeat?
George: No, no, no. Just lately, I've been thinking a lot clearer. Like this afternoon, (To television) what is chicken Kiev, (Back to Jerry) I really enjoyed watching a documentary with Louise.
Jerry: Louise! That's what's doin' it. You're no longer pre-occupied with sex, so your mind is able to focus.
George: You think?
Jerry: Yeah. I mean, let's say this is your brain. (Holds lettuce head) Okay, from what I know about you, your brain consists of two parts: the intellect, represented here (Pulls off tiny piece of lettuce), and the part obsessed with sex. (Shows large piece) Now granted, you have extracted an astonishing amount from this little scrap. But with no-sex-Louise, this previously useless lump, is now functioning for the first time in its existence. (Eats tiny piece of lettuce)
George: Oh my God. I just remembered where I left my retainer in second grade. I'll see ya. (He throws finished Rubik's cube to Jerry and he exits. Kramer enters)
YOU'RE DOOMED...DOOMED!!!
Those Yale folks are right smart aren't they. So let me get this straight - what you are saying is that the right amount of testosterone is good.
I guess that must be the Goldie Locks hypothesis.
He, he he he he he .... (coy)
This true for almost every substance on earth
Agenda driven science.
