Hello!
I’m new here and wanted to introduce myself. I am 31, Apoe4 homozygotic. Ever since discovering this fact I have been delving into the research and working to implement habits everyday to help curb my risk of developing conditions related to this variant. I have no family history of dementia, but a relatively strong history of cardiovascular issues in women (typically presents at advanced age). We also tend to live long, so at least there’s is that :)

Hi everyone! Look forward to learning with you!
