There are far more cases diagnosed in Europe and North America than in Africa, Asia or India. The question is why. Is it genetics? Some difference in lifestyle? Or is the disease just underreported in developing countries? India has a low rate of Alzheimer’s but with less access to physicians and fewer tests available it is possible that many cases of Alzheimer’s are not being recognized as such.</p> Tue, 08 Jul 2014 12:00:52 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 2165 at /oss
