[ It may of been what you call an old mans disease
Dear Joe,
No, I don't think 50 or even 60 is old, and please allow me to explain that I am not the one that invented the phrase "old man's disease", either. That's what we're told whenever statistics are discussed, "disease of primarily elderly, white males." The risk goes up for those above 60 yrs, and I'm not exactly sure what the average age really is, but I was under the impression that it hits more people in their 60s and 70s than younger.
As we have all noticed, the forum is not an actual representation of the true cross-section of the blc population, but has many more women, young women and young men than we'd expect.
