Alzheimer's Disease must be a very feared disease worldwide as it occurs in 50% of people over 85, and the human life span is rising every year. Furthermore, if there is no cure for this disease, this must be one of the worst diseases you can contract.

However, you may be able to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's disease by reducing your risk of heart disease. Many of the same factors that increase your risk of heart disease can also increase your risk of dementia. The main players appear to be blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels.

Research also suggests that lifestyle factors, such as a nutritious diet, __exercise__, social engagement, and mental exercises may also decrease the chance of people getting AD. Click [|here] for more information about exercise to prevent Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's patients must be very disappointed at the lack of information on this disease; I also find it hard to comprehend how anyone over the age of 85 will be able to exercise anyway. Video[]

Most cases are late-onset AD, which develops after 60.

Scientists do not fully understand yet what exactly causes Alzheimer's Disease, but they do know that the disease is a result of a series of events that occur in the brain over a long period of time. Three main factors that scientists believe to be the cause of Alzheimer's Disease are genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

"It is critical to recognize that Alzheimer's disease is NOT a rare disease and that it is NOT part of the normal aging process," said Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, director and health officer, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. "It is a tragic, progressive and ultimately fatal brain disease. If an individual has no other serious illness, the loss of brain function can lead to death."

Of course, there are a lot of theories and scientists also believe that some specific genes are responsible for causing Alzheimer's disease, but the theory is still pretty shaky and it is also pretty complicated.

[] || = QUESTION: = || Who is something notable about Alzheimer's Disease? || (include the words or phrases from keyword searches) || Ronald Reagan, President || "My Fellow Americans, I have recently been told that I am one of the Americans who will be afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease.." Click [|here] for the full letter. Ronald Reagan was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994. This obviously raised suspicions as to whether or not he had the disease at the time he served as president of the United States. According to his daily physicians while he served in the White House, he displayed no signs of Alzheimer's whatsoever during his term. Occasionally, however, he would suffer memory lapses, especially with names. There was one time when he was meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, when he repeatedly referred to Vice President Bush as Prime Minister Bush. However, Reagan suffered a head trauma in July 1989, five years before his diagnosis, when he fell off a horse in Mexico, and something called a "subdural hematoma" was found and surgically removed. Although this incident has not been proved to be directly related to Reagan's Alzheimer Disease problem, Reagan's one-time physician, Dr. Daniel Ruge, said that it was possible the horse incident could have affected his memory. As the years went by, Alzheimer's Disease slowly destroyed Reagan's brain, as it normally does; he was able to recognize few people, except of course, his wife. He still remained active, however, and frequently went for walks in the park. His disease progressed and eventually he died at his home in Bel Air, California on June 5, 2004. || Ronald Reagan image.[] ||

After all, he was the President, and AD supposedly makes your memory suffer. Although not decisive, the fact that Reagan frequently went for walks and still was diagnosed with disease shows that scientists may not be entirely correct that exercise can prevent you from getting AD.
