CAUSES OF ALZHEIMERS

The major risk factors are age and family history, a serious head injury.

Scientists believe that genetic factors may also be involved.

A protein called apolipoprotein E (ApoE) may be important.

Everyone has ApoE.

However, the function of ApoE in the brain is less understood.

One form seems to protect a person from AD, and another form seems to make a person more likely to develop the disease.

Scientists have found aluminum, zinc, and other metals in the brain tissue of people with Alzheimers.

Some scientists think that a virus may cause AD.

Alzheimers is most likely to be several factors that act differently in each person.
