Dementia: Rare Brain Disorder Is Highly Hereditary “The brain disorder, called frontotemporal dementia, is formerly known as Pick's disease and destroys parts of the brain, leading to dementia, including problems with language or changes in behavior and personality. The disease often affects people under the age of 65.”

Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Highly Heritable “FTLD is a genetically and pathologically heterogenous degenerative disorder, the authors write, with a number of different syndromes falling into the FTLD spectrum. The most common syndrome is behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia, which causes patients to present with behavioral or personality changes. Less commonly, FTLD can present as 1 of 3 different language impairments that fall under the umbrella of primary progressive aphasia, including semantic dementia, progressive nonfluent aphasia, and the logopenic/phonologic variant of primary progressive aphasia, they write. FTLD also overlaps with motor disorders, including the parkinsonian disorders corticobasal syndrome and progressive supranuclear palsy and frontotemporal dementia–motor neuron disease.”

High Waist-To-Hip Ratio in Midlife Linked to Later Dementia “"These data emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight throughout life, and that the prevention of Alzheimer's disease is a life-long process," lead author Dr. Deborah R. Gustafson, of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, told Reuters Health.”
