My father died of LBD May of 2007 in Canada. He was originally from the UK. His sister died last month at what I am told was dementia of unknown cause. His brother is showing sign of cognitive decline. The older sister is also suffering from dementia. (That's 4 of 9) The middle brother died in his 40's of a heart attack, and the oldest sister died several years ago, and I was never told what caused her death.
There are 2 younger brothers left that are of sound mind and not showing any physical decline. Unfortunately my Uncle "thrashes around in his sleep" just like my father did - REM sleep disorder.
I don't know much about their parents as my grandfather had died before I was born of Prostrate Cancer. My grandmother died when I was maybe 7 years old. I named her "funny granny from England" because I thought she was "nuts" that was from the eyes of a 7 year old. I do remember my Mother telling me that she was a confused lady most of the time.
There is a family from Italy that LBD occured in many of them, I have also heard of more.
I'm not in the medical field, graphic design actually, but I believe that LBD is some sort of damage to the brain that my family is prone too for one reason or another. My father was a school teacher. There are many cases of PD, LBD and AD among school teachers and health care workers.
I also think that we have to examine everything. I'm not math wiz, but I can vision ahead, and there is going to be a massive noticable increase in the cases of LBD, that if we do not act quickly enough, we will be far too reactive to be as effective as we will need to be.

What is the life expectancy with lewy body disease?
The life expectancy for individuals with Lewy body disease varies, but it is generally shorter compared to the overall population. On average, people with Lewy body disease live between 5 to 8 years after the onset of symptoms.

What is Lewy Disease?
Lewy body disease, also known as dementia with Lewy bodies, is a type of dementia that shares similarities with both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It is characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits in the brain called Lewy bodies, which can lead to cognitive decline, movement problems, and other symptoms such as hallucinations and sleep disturbances. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are important in treating this progressive neurodegenerative disease.
