Heavy Smoking In Middle Age And Alzheimer's Disease Risk Association
Found on www.elements4health.com
According to a study, heavy smoking in middle age appears to be associated with more than double the risk for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia two decades later.
Current estimates suggest smoking is responsible for several million deaths per year from causes such as heart disease and cancer, according to background information in the article. Although smoking increases risks of most diseases and of death, some studies have shown a reduced
Groundbreaking Study On Alzheimer's Disease And B Vitamins

A placebo-controlled two-year experiment from Oxford University found that supplemental B vitamins can actually help decrease brain shrinkage and preserve mental function for men and women at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
But, despite these findings, scientists aren’t advocating universal use of supplemental Triple B (folic acid, B12 and vitamin B6). Taking B vitamins can actually increase the blood level of an amino acid

Genetics And Alzheimer's Disease
Found on sykepbitas.blogspot.com
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an extremely complicated disease. Several proteins seem to be involved in its cause and progression. For example, the lipid-transport protein apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) is the major genetic risk factor for AD, and apoE4 carriers account for 65and#821180;% of all Alzheimer's cases, but exactly how apoE4 contributes to the disease is unclear.

Found on www.discoverpsychology.com
New research is helping to unravel the events that underlie the "spread" of Alzheimer's disease (AD) throughout the brain. The research follows disease progression from a vulnerable brain region that is affected early in the disease to interconnected brain regions that are affected in later stages. The findings may contribute to design of therapeutic interventions as targeting the brain region where AD originates would be simpler than targeting multiple
