Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease

"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

Hemodialysis patients with blood type A exhibit significantly lower risks of both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to those with other blood types. This finding directly contrasts with the general population, where blood type O is typically associated with the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease.
