Published by Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility and Science and Environmental Health Network
This report examines the lifetime influences of environmental factors on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and their underlying pathologic mechanisms. The close look into the science of these diseases shows they are related to a number of features of modern society and that Alzheimer’s disease especially is linked to other serious health problems of modern times, called the "western disease cluster."
