Chill out!!!!! Alzheimer's Neurotic and introverted

[poetrygirl]

"So while there was no difference in Alzheimer's occurrence between the extroverted-calm person and the introverted-calm person, the most likely persons to succumb to Alzheimer's were both neurotic and introverted. This suggests that socialization is still important, although not as important a risk factor in Alzheimer's as neurosis...."

"To summarize the results, people identified as calm, self-satisfied, and not easily upset were half as likely to develop Alzheimer's Disease than those prone to distress....."

I'd be more worried about aluminum.

EDIT: At least, I hope I'm not neurotic!

I heard that people who write and use lots of imagery are less likely to get azheimers.. I don't have the data to back up this claim. I just vaguely recall someone mentioning it to me.
