Recreational Activities and ALS Risk: What Canadians Should Know

A new study suggests that certain recreational activities, such as gardening, golfing, woodworking, and hunting, may increase the risk of developing ALS, particularly for men. The research, conducted at the University of Michigan, surveyed ALS patients and individuals without the disease to identify activities associated with ALS risk. The findings indicate that recreational activities may play a role in ALS risk, and understanding these factors could lead to new strategies for prevention and treatment.
