An example of howthis disease, which affects 387 million people worldwide and more than 3 million in Italy (5.5% of the population), can be managed in an optimal manner and does not represent an obstacle to the achievement of ambitious goals. All thanks to advances in medicine, but especially topeople’s willpower.
