Um You mentioned earlier some of the controversy , right ? So what , what , what are we talking about here ? Well , it , it , it's , and I , I do write about this at , at , at length in the chapter on Alzheimer's disease because I think this is a very important point , right ?
It , it extends to lack of peripheral awareness or control and then some , some acute injury or infection got it . Um You mentioned earlier some of the controversy , right ? So what , what , what are we talking about here ?
So it sort of sits on a spectrum that's sort of , you know , I mean , loosely halfway between Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease . Um , we talked obviously about age being the number one risk factor . Kind of not that interesting because you can't do anything about it .
So , you know , we , we tend to focus on modifiable risk factors . Um So what else can we tell you just to give you kind of lay of the land ? So the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease would probably be Lewy body dementia followed by Parkinson's disease .
The greatest risk factor for cancer is age . Um We tend to not spend a lot of time talking about that because it's not a modifiable risk . So , you know , we , we tend to focus on modifiable risk factors .
