A member asked:
Is alzheimer's more or less common in professors? why?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neither: However, professors, by virtue of having a college education, have more cognitive reserve. This means that it will take more disease (brain damage) before they show symptoms compared to someone who has not been to college.
