Yes.

So when it comes to something like Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common form of dementia, because dementia is an umbrella term, women have twice the risk of men.

So of every three dementia patients, two of them are women.

Stop it.

And it's not true.

Sorry, I love you.

I didn't mean to slap your face in there.

What?

It's not true for a few reasons.

Yeah, right.

So first of all, if that were the case, then if it was simply about aging, we would expect longer lived populations to have higher rates of Alzheimer's disease.

And that's not what we see.

So places like Japan, places like Greece, who have an older population, Italy,

don't have correlation with dementia.

So for example, in the UK, dementia is our leading cause of death.

um i can't how long has that been is that oh for years and no not me and even during covid where it was still um dementia um i'm pretty sure uh no we don't know we can we can check that and perfect um no because we think maybe cancer or heart disease or you know some secondary outcome of a fall no it's it's alzheimer's disease um

So that's in the UK.

But somewhere like Greece, an older woman is more likely to die from a respiratory infection.

So complications of a flu or pneumonia than she is from Alzheimer's, even though on average she will live longer.

So it's not simply what we can say.
