It is a precursor and predictor for people at risk.

Yeah that would explain why I feel dumber than a box of rocks! :-)
That was what they measured my IQ at during my college entrance exam, I'm 34 now. Among other things, I did a lot of self medicating in my early twenties, so I'm sure it's no where near as high as it once was.
I seem to have a natural talent for mathematics, and science. In fact I'm good with game theory much like John Nash was. In my spare time I've been working on a mathematics degree. Furthermore, I've had dyslexia and other communication defects since childhood. I have noticed a decline in cognitive functioning, but I merely assumed it was due to old age. Are you telling me it's going to get worse?
