Arteriosclerosis Not a Disease of Age Says Lancereaux

Lancereaux tells the French Academy arteriosclerosis is common in adults from twenty to sixty and more prevalent between thirty and sixty, often arising in youth and not solely tied to old age. He argues prevention should begin early, especially in heredity predisposed individuals, and disputes the belief that age causes the condition or that alcohol and tobacco are the main culprits. The disease may lessen in apparent severity after sixty, while early nervous-system focus in treatment is urged.
