Arteriosclerosis Not Solely an Old Age Malady
Lancereaux argues arteriosclerosis rises in youth and acts more severely in younger patients than in the elderly. He states it is not caused by alcohol, tobacco, or rich diet, and stresses early prevention targeting heredity and nervous system modulation to reduce later risk. The disease often peaks between 30 and 60 and can hasten death between 50 and 65.
