- Drivers with early symptoms of Alzheimer’s struggled to remain effective and changed profession

I had the same thought, but occupation on the birth certificate is the "usual" occupation the person held.

  • Isn't that the point? People whose cognitive abilities were already slowly declining would likely look for another job that was less demanding.

    Sorry if I am misunderstanding you.

    • The implication is that if you spent 30yrs as an ambulance driver, followed by 10 years working retail, the death certificate will say "ambulance driver."
