/c/café daily chat thread for 27 July 2023
(self.cafe)
Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
dementia can be caused by single gene (simple inheritance), or multiple gene variants, or by interactions between those variants with your lifestyle and environment (complex inheritance). If it’s the simple type, and your parents both have the same mutation, you definitely would get it. Complex is less straightforward- you likely did inherit at least 1 copy, but it won’t necessarily mean you will for sure get it. In fact you may not even develop it. It does increase the risk though, and some say healthy diet and healthy lifestyle can reduce this risk to zero.
I see, thank you!
