- aeternum 2y agoYes, especially since the study looked at professions on death certificates (likely to be last profession). There are many better ways to do this. Studies like this that are obviously flawed to anyone with a modicum of actual scientific/stats knowledge being called "landmark" studies really casts doubt on peer review. Sad to see this behavior yet again from researchers in the Alzheimer's field. How many more billions of donations must be wasted by "scientists" that don't understand basic statistics before something changes?
