Geographical Relation Between Alzheimer's Disease and Aluminium in Drinking Water Lancet 1:59-62, Martyn,C.N.,et al, 1989 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In a survey of eighty-eight country districts within England and Wales, rates of Alzheimer's disease in people under the age of 70 years were estimated from the records of the computerised tomographic(CT)scanning units that served these districts.Rates were adjusted to compensate for differences in distance from the nearest CT scanning unit and for differences in the size of the population served by the units.Aluminum concentrations in water over the past 10 years were obtained from water authorities and water companies.The risk of Alzheimer's disease was 1.5 times higher in districts where the mean aluminum concentration exceeded 0.11 mg/1 than in districts where concentrations were less than 0.01mg/1. There was no evidence of a relation between other causes of dementia,or epilepsy,and aluminum concentrations in water.
