Paper about Alzheimers and the Tsimane people: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz.12626 https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz... Notable quotes: as most dementia is found among individuals ≥ 75 years of age, the pyramid-shaped age structure of the Tsimane and Moseten populations means that the crude prevalence would be expected to be low. Relatively low exposure to traffic and industrial sources of environmental pollution are offset to an unknown extent by cooking fires and biomass burning. Evidence is converging as to the major modifiable risk factors for dementia and AD.5, [6] These include low formal education[7]; vascular factors, including midlife hypertension and diabete[8]; cardiovascular disease other than stroke[9]; physical inactivity[10]; and—a recently recognized addition—air pollution.[6] Higher coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores—a marker of atherosclerosis—is related to increased risk of dementia.[11] Evidence-based dietary recommendations for reducing risk of dementia and AD include regular consumption of fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish.[12] In addition, several microbial pathogens have been associated with AD. Perhaps few ancient greeks lived long enough (75+) to get Dementia. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18359748/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18359748/ says In a study of all men of renown, living in the 5th and 4th century in Greece, we identified 83 whose date of birth and death have been recorded with certainty. Their mean +/- SD and median lengths of life were found to be 71.3+/-13.4 and 70 years, respectively.
