on Oct 8th, 2007Alzheimer’s Disease Risk May Depend on How Conscientious You Are
How do you define conscientiousness? According to a couple of researchers, it’s mostly those “things our parents told us to do.” You know, like finish all the food on your plate regardless of portion size. Or take out the trash. Or mow the lawn. Why does it matter? Because your level of conscientiousness just might determine your susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease.
Don’t believe it? We dare you: don’t take out that trash and see if you’re wife yells at you. Maybe we’re mixing up conscientiousness with conscious. Ha!
