蓝白云说用脑多导致老痴呆和中国痴呆多真是胡说。美国老年痴呆死亡率世界第二(芬兰第一)。中国痴呆死亡率世界第53.
Alzheimers/Dementia Death rate (per 100,000)
1. Finland
2 United States 45.58
3 Canada 35.50
4 Iceland 34.08
5 Sweden 32.41
6 Switzerland 32.25
….
53. China 4.7
您可能有一点猜对了。非洲人老年痴呆死亡率世界最低。但不是因为他们不强用脑子,
而是因为他们活到老年的太少了。
再看看美国自己的统计,用脑多的白人 比用脑少的黑人得老年痴呆率低的多:
