I think this article ignores some very important risk factors.
Does it assumes idiopathic Dementia?, what about dementia caused by AIDS, Syphilis, or late-stage Lyme disease?, to mention a few?.
- mfoy_ 9y agoI'm not sure "getting rid of your AIDS" counts as a "lifestyle change"...
- alfon 9y agoYou think that preventing a STD, or a tick bite wouldn't count as a lifestyle change?, really?.
- spurcell93 9y agoI think the point is more that people already try to not get HIV / AIDS - and once they have it, they can't just "get rid of it".
- mfoy_ 9y agoThe article is about lifestyle _changes_ you can make to mitigate existing risk factors. You can't _change_ whether or not you have AIDS once you already have it, not yet at least. And if you make a _special_ effort to avoid getting AIDS because it has a minor impact on your risk of getting dementia in old age... your priorities are WAY out of whack.
