A smell test or an eye exam are holding some promise for early detection but they have also found that repeated use of the word "style" is a sign of Advancing Alzheimer's.

The reason a look into the eyes works so well is interesting.

Not sure I'd want to know. There isn't much that can be done about it.

Well, if this test works and it isn't documented on yer chart then you could take out a long
term care policy without anybody, read the insurance company, being the wiser.

There is a short article in the recent Scientific American that researches think that Alzheimer's may be a late onset Down's Syndrome. Apparently the plaques in the brain that are diagnostic of Alzheimer's are extremely similar to those found in Down's Syndrome patients. Down's Syndrome is associated with an extra chromosome 21 and researchers speculate that some people are prone to manufacture more chromosome 21s as they age for some obscure genetic reason.

A long term study with Catholic nuns found that you could predict Alzheimer's by a person's writing style in their 20's. The more complicated and convoluted the sentence structure, the less likely to get Alzheimer's.

Which would indicate a lot of people on ST are in danger and those who post one line insults are the best candidates. :)

Edit:
This could also tie in with Down's syndrome and retardation, simplistic thinking and writing.

How old were you when you started publishing your guidebooks Dingus? Do we have a sample of your writing in your 20's?

You've always sounded undemented ( if sometimes feisty) to me! But I'm a special Ed teacher....
