title: Verminderde vergrijzing en M. Korsakov; toeval of een voorbeeld van serendiptisme?
abstract: The clinical observation that patients with an alcohol amnestic disorder get grey hair at a higher age was investigated by comparing a group of Korsakov patients and patients with alcohol abuse with a reference sample from the literature. Korsakoff patients appeared to be significantly less grey than age-matched alcoholics and controls. Some putative etiological factors including the mechanism of apoptosis are discussed.
