Is evolution causing Old Ladies with dementia to become more common? - men get alzheimers more than women
Currently there are approximately 700,000 people in the UK with dementia. Although men and women have dementia, the prices are much higher among women and has grown much faster. There are more recent research suggests that some forms of dementia are hereditary.
"There are two major driving forces of evolution. The first is natural selection, a process that inheritable characteristics are important for the survival and growth of benefits is becoming increasingly widespread in the population, and harmful properties result in more rare. This is done because individuals tend to repeat with favorable characteristics, so that more people in the next generation inherit these properties direct quote "evolution Wikipedia
So why evolution is a person with dementia is becoming more common? Or a feature of dementia is a kind of advantage?

Evolution has nothing to do with the old with dementia, because the women for signs of dementia, and it will be read but not eliminated. Therefore, most health problems that occur with age - not eliminated by natural selection because they occur after the reproductive period of a person.
This does not mean that everything that happens because of changes in the sense in the paragraph you quote describes.
Because science and technology, we are living longer. In the past, most people died of old age, dementia strikes. Now come more people.
This is not the biological evolution but cultural evolution (better health and medicine).
No, not dementia, is an advantage that is a side effect, so to speak.
No life, women more than men, and modern medicine has extended our life expectancy. What we see is just the tip of the baby boom of the postwar era, whose bodies to survive their minds. More women than men, simply because the gap in life expectancy between women and men.
I find it interesting that just 115 years died virtially brain showed no signs of dementia. Why do some people have and others do not seem to you a secret.
The quality of food and nutrition information and medical advances help people live longer.
For many older people are more mobile than you will see an increase in geriatric diseases.
Can more cases in women because they live longer than men.
Geriatrics Hyperplasia many causes. First, with the elderly is generally low in vitamins A and B. malnutrition needs to be replaced, and that the law encourages. It Alzheimer's, we do not know what the cause, however, a number of environmental problems and ETOH abuse (particularly older women, a secret drinking problem.) In the United Kingdom but also the number of people who were actually infected with the prion-based distance spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) before measures to control the transmission in food animals and humans.
The estimated number of infected people in Europe than previously to cause so great. But had the fear that the numbers decreased to remain calm. But I have a patient at the time of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and was education, and the same is true, and it was an "adjustment" in the projections of morbidity, which contrary to scientific projections, I assume would alleviate the fears, for there is nothing you can do to prions. But for the peopleAnd they are infected (probably infected) years, the disease takes a while and eat perculate brain tissue, and if demintia begin to lead in Europe, we simply with this reality.
It is against this disease, so I came "out of retirement" if I decide to pay more attention to events in the world again, because I do not trust our leadership. You have to do, and allows us to be harmed. The rapid rise of childhood autism in the United States is to be totally ignored as a disease solely on the environment through the dangerous levels of microwave enormous throughout the United States, which are intolerant, caused other nations. As for evolution, take a look at this new error called "prion". It is a living spirit. I wonder what the hell is the nature of prions.
