Carleton Gajdusek, who was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work with prion diseases
(Manuelidis,1985), estimates that 1% of people showing up in Alzheimer clinics actually
have CJD (Folstein, 1983).

pity that this was before BSE blew up isn't it

It's an American study of the US population, posted in response to
your question "How do UK dementia figures compare with US, or EU."

As I said, this is before BSE blew up. What the hell use are comparison
figures then? You are the one claiming a lot of hidden CJD so you should
have figures for dementia now.

In the UK, 750,000.

over how long?

Currently.
