Question
what are the causes of alzheimer?
If I knew that I would be world famous!!!!
No one is really sure what causes it. They know that age and heredity are the biggest risk factors. They know that to help prevent the onset doing the same things to keep your heart healthy keep your brain healthy. They know that preventing injury to your head helps also.
But what specifically causes it no one knows.
Sorry! Paula
