Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common form of dementia due to the death of brain cells, ultimately leading to memory loss. It accounts for about 60 to 80% of cases in the United States. Research suggests that AD has a large genetic component and usually affects people over the age of 65. However, environmental (modifiable) risk factors can also affect the risk of AD. Recent research has called attention to how type II diabetes and coronary heart disease surgeries directly relate to AD. This review paper will discuss the different risk factors for AD, including coronary heart disease, and strategies to minimize disease risk. Its goal is to raise awareness of the risks that can cause a lethal disease that has no proper cure and help bring attention to how genes, environmental factors and genes by environmental factors can increase the risk of AD.
