Study: 'Pre-dementia' is rising, especially in men

How cute. Pre-dementia is rising and penises aren't.
"A milder type of mental decline that often precedes Alzheimer's disease is alarmingly more common than has been believed, and in men more than women, doctors reported Monday.

Nearly a million older Americans slide from normal memory into mild impairment each year, researchers estimate, based on a Mayo Clinic study of Minnesota residents.

That's on top of the half million Americans who develop full-blown Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia — a problem sure to grow as baby boomers age. The oldest boomers turn 62 this year."
Well at least something remains capable of being fully blown.

Besides the national budget on stupid sick care interventions and meaningless research into overweight/obesity.

BTW, erectile dysfunction is related to overweight/obesity.
