The onset of Alzheimer’s disease is associated with aging, family genetics, history of chronic diseases, poor lifestyle, education level, social relationships, etc. People with these factors need to be highly vigilant.
Alzheimer’s disease is a clinical syndrome that occurs when the central nervous system degenerates due to a variety of causes, generally referred to as Alzheimer’s disease dementia.
The biggest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is aging, but the disease is also associated with factors such as family inheritance, and relatives of people with the disease, such as children and siblings, are at a higher risk of developing the disease than the rest of the population. In addition, patients with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Poor lifestyle habits such as lack of exercise, smoking, and lack of sleep also contribute to the increased risk of developing the disease. A low level of education and less participation in social activities can also lead to a higher risk of developing the disease.
In addition to these risk factors, other factors may also be associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease, so consult your physician if you would like to learn more about the disease.
