Post by Orangeblossom »

Thought you might find this interesting. Study finds more births especially over 5, increases risk of dementia

Link to the study here http://n.neurology.org/content/early/20 ... 0000006000

The above was just an abstract but I found this paper which explains a bit more in the intro. Thought it was interesting the mention of APOE4 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2718710/
