Today, I read an interesting article on the BBC News. The title is "Solo life ups gene dementia risk" (2009) The researchers said that"APOE variant 4 is the most genetic risk factor for Alzleimer's" The article also tell about whoever carry this gene and living alone will high risk three times to be dementia.Middle-age had twice the risk of dementia than people who were living with a partner. The risk affects those who split up or were widowed from their long term partner before the age of 50. I think this is interesting because I see many people living alone and they are unhappy. They are low activities and look sad. Maybe these reasons make people to be sick. I think those people should go out and meet some friends. They should not stay at home and do nothing. However people who have a single life should be avoid too. We should go out to meet friends,exercise and be healthy. I think most important is try to be possitive thinking.

I live alone, but I'm not unhappy. I get out everyday. I see friends and students at AUA. I usually meet friends in the afternoon or evening.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I would prefer not to live alone, but it's not so bad. And there are advantages: I don't have to worry about telling someone where I'm going or what time I'll get back, and I can sit up working late if I want to, or watch a video at any time.
Are you alone? This news support me to find MR right. Wowww...
