Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia, is influenced by several risk factors. Age is the most significant, with risk doubling every five years after 65. Genetics also play a role, especially the presence of certain genes like APOE-e4. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and social engagement can impact risk; cardiovascular health is crucial as well, with conditions like hypertension and diabetes increasing vulnerability. Brain health and cognitive stimulation throughout life may also influence susceptibility. Environmental factors like education level and occupation contribute, possibly through their effects on brain resilience. While risk factors vary in impact and interaction, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing cardiovascular health remain key strategies in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
