[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its a very different reality when you are the woman and the actual caregiver.  Those who preach are not dealing with a relative with dementia who cannot feed, bath or care for themselves let alone be home alone.  Its far harder care than a newborn.  You cannot even compare the level of care  needed.  I did it and couldn't do it anymore.[/quote]
+ in India life expectancy is shorter and old people die of other causes before dementia sets in.[/quote]

Not the Indian people I know. Unlike most Westerners, they don't smoke, drink little or not at all, and eat diets of mostly vegetables. They live easily into their 80's and beyond.[/quote]

Average life expectancies:

United States- 79

India- 66

Ok thats great but since DCUM is not based in India, I'm assuming most of the Indians on this board are Indian-Americans, not Indians who are living in India. I have no doubt that given the extreme poverty throughout India, that the average life expectancy there is much lower than in the US. [/quote]
