How to prevent Alzheimer's disease
How to prevent Alzheimer's disease
There's plenty not to love about being middle-aged.But by the time today's forty- and fifty-somethings reach the age when they may develop Alzheimer's disease and dementia (one in 20 people develop dementia under 65 but above that age a person's risk doubles roughly every five years), it's likely we'll know more about its early signs and probably have drugs to treat it before it even shows symptoms.Perhaps even more hearteningly, increasing evidence shows that dementia is not inevitable.This week, scientists at Harvard published research on an elite group of retired people, dubbed ''super agers'', who have brains that resemble those of people a third their age, which could provide vital clues about how to prevent declines in memory.
