Why is Alzheimer's considered to be a rare disease in India? |
Why is Alzheimer's considered to be a rare disease in India? Certain cultures are more 'accepting' of older adults and their diminished capacities (if they have Alzheimer's) and may not see it as abnormal.... thus they would not seek medical help, nor be diagnosed. So, in some cultures, there may be just as much Alzheimer's, it is just under-reported. Also, (I don't know if this is true for India) but there might be a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease in cultures where fish consumption is high. DHA contained in fish may be a neuro-protective agent. If it is rare in India, then this is a GREAT question. I know this isn't an answer but I am interested in seeing other answers if it is rare in India. Thank You for asking the question. http://www.senior-assistance-devices.com... Did you know that Floride is linked to Alzheimers? Did you also know that the government forities your tap water with floride and there are also some companies that fortify their bottled water with floride? Alzheimer's might be considered a rare disease in India because they have a low incidence of this disease. There are so many differences in cultures, it's hard to say why but it might be the fact that they have less modified foods, full of preservatives, pesticides and all that junk. Also older people die at a younger age their, so they don't get the chance to get the disease. My mind is cloudy on this issue!! I wander who told you this. Just because it's not as popular as other diseases such as diabetes, cancer, TB.,etc., but it's definately there. The symptoms are not so obvious and it takes time to realize whether one is actually really suffering from it or not, so many people wouldn't just consult a doctor for this. It can also be a temporary phrase in life. Today, everybody is so stressed and the diets and lifestyles are so unhealthy and pollutions adding to these problems, more and more diseases are discovered. And this does not limit to any country!
