Hi all well I have been thinking and thinking about what my Thursday post should be about and I have no blood idea. So today you get a few facts such as.
Research estimates 1 in 100 adults live with borderline personality disorder. It’s more common for women to be diagnosed, but men experience it at a similar rate. Usually, symptoms appear in the teenage years or early adulthood.
Parkinson’s is relatively common. Approximately 1 in 500 people have the condition. It becomes more common with older age groups, and it is believed 1% of people above the age of 60 have Parkinson’s. The average age at diagnosis is 59.
Then we have diabetes which I have type 2 of, like nearly half the population it seems.
Global diabetes statistics says one in 10 adults have diabetes and one in two adults don’t know they have it.
Just over 1.3 million people were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Australia between 2000 and 2021. This was an average of 60,000 people each year.
However, in 2021, the number of people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes was well below this average at 45,700, equating to 178 diagnoses per 100,000 population.
Bipolar disorder affects something 2.5 percent of the population and is associated with reduced functioning, cognitive impairment and other things.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Yep, now we do have lots of statistics but one generation back there was very little still.
Even for our grandparents’ age there was no knowledge, no cure and often no doctor available.
My family line showed a lot of death while in their 40s… almost depressing to study your genealogy that way but those were FACTS. Poor souls for not having access to any help or cure back then!
Hugs,

Having all these statistics are good but what does knowing all this stuff do to change anything , I don’t know ,maybe it does what do I know
In a way it sure helps and also alerts physicians to certain signs.
