Not sure if anyone came across this article in the Daily Mail, but it is now available online.

Just thought it may stimulate some reaction, hopefully directed at the Daily Mail letters pages (that's what I will be doing). I wonder if Dr Andel studied a decent cross section of the population! and how he came to this conclussion. I'm personally very sceptical as I hear more and more stories of peoples past lives visiting homes and meeting relatives. My father like many had very challenging job and did 'complex' work right until the day he retired. He then continued to stimulate his mind even after the onset of alzheimer's. I really can't believe there is any connection between peoples jobs and the onset of dementia. The study and its conclussions are is misleading and insulting in my opinion.
Kind Regards
Craig
