Conscientious people are less prone to Alzheimer's

From this article Conscientious people are less prone to Alzheimer's:

“People who lead a good clean life -- those who are conscientious, self-disciplined and scrupulous -- appear to be less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, U.S. researchers said on Monday.”

And this:


“Wilson and colleagues defined conscientiousness in the study as people who control their impulses and are goal-directed. These people are often considered dependable.”

And this:


"These factors might lessen the adverse consequences of negative life events and chronic psychological distress, which have been associated with risk of dementia in old age," the authors wrote.

We engage in running, walking, and exercising in all forms in order to look better, feel better and live longer. Better medications have enabled us to live longer and enjoy a higher standard of life. Following such a lifestyle we are likely to live longer. Those who live longer are more likelihood to develop Alzheimer's disease.

One of my clients was a 81 year old Alzheimer's patient who looked several years younger than his actual age. He was in perfect health aside from his cognitive decline. This man had been meticulous with his health his entire life. The irony is that this man had been conscientious about his health.

It makes one wonder if one ought to cut loose, indulge in food and drink, and pay less attend to one's health. Following such a course is planning to fail and is guaranteed to come to no good end. Better to eat well, live well, and exercise and hope that medicine races to a cure or reliable treatment before we get too old.
