[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is NO way to prevent dementia/alzheimer's. No one could have been more mentally and physically active, in better health than my Father. And it came for him. Not buying these prevention suggestions. Do the many things suggested for yourself to live healthier now, now in the moment. Best you can.[/quote] I’m sorry. It’s hard to say. We don’t know what he ate, how many times he had a concussion as a child, what his nutrition was like as a child, or what was in his genes. My father exercised and was a voracious reader. It’s hard to know what caused it in this case. I first noticed it in him at 77, and he died at 87. His mother lived to 102 without memory problems, but her mother did have them. My dad retired early and probably had depression, and that could have contributed to his decline. Depression (untreated) is a risk factor. [/quote]
