Looks like Dem voters are safe, folks!

BTW, WHERE did they find 312 educated people in New York?

I have read the exact oppisite in other studies, as well as the more education you have the later the onset.

I wonder how the learned investigators of this study reacted to the results they uncovered.

This study makes me think I nede to put some flowers on Algernons grave in the bak yard.

Universities. That explains it; they're pseudo-educated.

[Lady Jag]

The report is from Australia, second only in inaccuracies to UK.

[VeniVidiVici]

That's cuz when the Alzheimers rolls around their brains are already done used up.

Before you put your foot further into your mouth, it's a study from Colombia University Medical Centre in New York, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

How educated are you?

[Lady Jag]

That explains it.

[Publius6961]

This obviously means that when liberals are afflicted we may not notice it for years?

[VOA]

Yep, I'd heard about that delayed onset phenomenon as well.
Looks like the last two lines of this article tries to reconcile that
with the "steeper decline" in the more educated folks.

An extended family member is in decline with Alzheimers...but
she is one of the type that can talk to you, "read" you and carry on
rational talk for...awhile.
She totally suckered her daughter and son-in-law for a couple of years
until they got her in for a full diagnostic work-up.

All I know is my mom has it shes in a home for it and it sucks big time I sure miss my old mom

[originalbuckeye]

Ruh-roh! Sorry, this sounds more like Homer Simpson.

[Search4Truth]

I am sorry for your loss.

[brytlea]

Just lost my MIL from it. Really sad to watch them get worse and worse. Fortunately, she knew who everyone was up until the end, altho she could not communicate. At least they said it was alzheimers. I wonder if they don't toss all dementia into that same diagnosis.....
