Here are some Alzheimer's Quick Facts:
Women are more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's (AD). https://www.alzheimers.net/8-12-15-why-is-alzheimers-more-likely-in-women/
The excess AD in women may be tied to hormones, genetics, and vascular diseases. See the link above.
Depression is a risk factor for future Alzheimer's. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12756140
Periodontal disease and other infections may contribute to AD development. https://www.j-alz.com/editors-blog/posts/alzheimers-disease-and-spirochetosis-causal-relationship
Insulin-resistance (diabetes or even pre-diabetes) is a risk factor for future Alzheimer's. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/02/alzheimers
Based on the risk factors for AD, this disease is both preventable and reversible - with prevention being the preferred solution.
