ALS Survival May Be Cut Short by Living in Disadvantaged Communities
Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan

Living in a disadvantaged community may decrease the length of time a person can survive with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, by over 30%, a study suggests. Similar studies have shown that living in resource-deprived areas is associated with a higher burden of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.
