So when I've been told about that, that more women than men get it, I've been told that it's because we live longer.
Is that true?
It's not true.
It's not true.
And having seen my father go through Alzheimer's, the one thing that you want to do for as long as you possibly can is preserve brain health because watching somebody go through that, it's not something I would want to experience.
It's horrible.
And interestingly, you said this terrible trend for younger people being diagnosed.
When you're saying younger, how old do you mean?
Because I think, wasn't it, isn't dementia kind of 65 plus?
65 is the average age of diagnosis.

Yes.
Because I, you know, obviously when we were talking about older people, you were saying it's more genetic.
And obviously my father had Alzheimer's, so it's something that I think about.
