    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 56 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 1988-06-01 Lewy body dementia

    The decline in the high incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, parkinsonism, and Alzheimer-type dementia among the Chamorro population of the western Pacific islands of Guam and Rota, coupled with the absence of demonstrable viral and hereditable factors in this disease, suggests the gradual disappearance of an environmental factor selectively associated with this culture.
