Objective To analyze mortality attributed to Alzheimer’s disease among taxi drivers and ambulance drivers, occupations that demand frequent spatial and navigational processing, compared with other occupations. Design Population based cross-sectional study. Setting Use of death certificates from the National Vital Statistics System in the United States, which were linked to occupation, 1 January 2020-31 December 2022. Participants Deceased adults aged 18 years and older. Main outcomes measures Among 443 occupations studied, percentage of deaths attributed to Alzheimer’s disease for taxi drivers and ambulance drivers and each of the remaining 441 occupations, adjusting for age at death and other sociodemographic factors. Results Of 8 972 221 people who had died with occupational information, 3.88% (348 328) had Alzheimer’s disease listed as a cause of death. Among taxi drivers, 1.03% (171/16 658) died from Alzheimer’s disease, while among ambulance drivers, the rate was 0.74% (10/1348). After adjustment, ambulance drivers (0.91% (95% confidence interval 0.35% to 1.48%)) and taxi drivers (1.03% (0.87% to 1.18%)) had the lowest proportion of deaths due to Alzheimer’s disease of all occupations examined. This trend was not observed in other transportation related jobs that are less reliant on real time spatial and navigational processing or for other types of dementia. Results were consistent whether Alzheimer’s disease was recorded as an underlying or contributing cause of death. Conclusions Taxi drivers and ambulance drivers, occupations involving frequent navigational and spatial processing, had the lowest proportions of deaths attributed to Alzheimer’s disease of all occupations. Data are publicly available.

How many other #deskjockey s thought it'd be the #deliverydrivers and #taxidrivers first, Huh?
Then the #warehouse #workers.
Before they came for the #administrators, #regulators, #judges...
Who'd have thought #ai would be implemented by megalomaniacs to replace anyone who actually keeps track of things and exerts control on their power early in the reprogramming phase?
(Anyone who's looked at the #history books tbh)
Why do these racist fuckers always start their tirades with something about refusing to be silenced?
Like, my guy.. WE KNOW BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP

"Identity is, for me, a point of departure for alliances, which need to include all kinds of people, from trans to working people to those taxi drivers that J. K. Rowling is worried about. Identity is a great start for making connections and becoming part of larger communities. But you can’t have a politics of identity that is only about identity. If you do that, you draw sectarian lines, and you abandoned our interdependent ties."—Judith Butler [interviewed by Iker Seisdedos on El País - English] >
