FMD and growing
You have excellent data there and please share the sources here. We are discovering that Japan also has a highter incidence of FMD but statistics were not shared. I posted my questions and response in the vascular section of the site.
That the incidence of FMD is up to 1.7%, is that at autopsy, or living? This is critical information, please share!
My thought on the statistics are this. FMD is primarily a woman's disease. Like breast cancer, it is not addressed aggresively and secondly, it has nothing to do with sex (remember, Viagra) so its not attractive; finally, it is primarily attacking women over 50 and it appears, based on the research out there, that it is secondary to something that the medical profession knows about and focuses on.
How do we change that? We need to find statistics that support our statements. If the statistics are not there, we need to work at developing them. How is this going to be done? We need all of us to come up with a plan and pull together to get it done.
Can we do this?
