You've always said that the health of my long lived relatives was not attributable to their genes.
I don't know your relatives and only have your word for what they did and didn't do. Are you sure you remember what they did? So why speculate? But I still say that lifestyle is the major factor in determining health and longevity.

In another post you said you didn't know what a KINDLE was????
Plus you've never had a charge card. Are you sure????
You just said you've hit your head a few times.
Are you sure you remember what I said? I didn't say I didn't know what a KINDLE was. Do you know what you are insinuating? Ordinarilly, it would be considered mean-spirited but it might just be a change in personality. I read that aggression and rudeness can be an early sign of Alzheimer's.

p.s. Your theory on weight is flawed. We saw patients of all sizes, mostly thin, in the skilled nursing home....in various stages of Alzheimers, from early to end stage.
No it's not flawed. It's not weight per say, it's waist measurement. Did you forget? And, in science, it doesn't mean that everyone with a large waist will get Alzheimer's. It just means that they increase their risk of getting Alzheimer's.
