not all memory loss is normal as you
grow older hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning more about the prevention
and risk factors associated with
Alzheimer’s from the Alzheimer Society
of Montreal who would you say is most at
risk there is a lot of work on risk
factors for a summer disease because we
hope to prevent it which means delaying
onset of symptoms by five to ten years
and we think this is achievable now
being a woman slightly increase your
risk relative to man but we think this
will change because women are more and
more educated and education is a
protective factor the best known risk
factors other than age are some genes
that you’re born with like a bowi which
is a gene that modifies our cholesterol
is entering your brain and small strokes
so prevention of small strokes is
preventive treatment for Al’s aminah
what can we do to prevent Alzheimer’s
prevention of stroke and heart attack is
achievable with keeping your weight
under control physical exercise avoiding
smoking a little bit of red wine is
recommended every day watching your
cholesterol your blood pressure etc over
midlife ages 40 to 60 or the critical
years for prevention of heart attack and
small strokes that could affect your
memory capacity when you retire after
age 65 one persistent rumor that I
noticed is that aluminum is a potential
cause for Alzheimer’s is this true among
the potential environmental factors that
could accelerate brain aging and maybe
play a part in alzheimer aluminum at one
time was felt to be a significant
significant factor fortunately that’s
not the case there were many studies
done so currently the opinion by most
people is that aluminum does not play
significant role in alzheimer disease
