With the exception of the rare cases of Alzheimer’s
caused by known genetic mutations, experts believe
that Alzheimer’s, like other common chronic diseases,
develops as a result of multiple factors rather than a
single cause.
Some risk factors are: age, family history, Apolipoprotein E (APOE)-e4
Gene, MCI involving memory problems, cardiovascular disease, social
& cognitive engagement, education, and traumatic brain injury.
