Alzheimer's Disease as an Optional Condition

Alzheimer's disease is increasingly being viewed as an optional condition that can potentially be prevented or delayed. It is indicated that a significant percentage of cases are driven by lifestyle factors rather than simply genetic predisposition. Blood tests measuring specific biomarkers, such as P-tau, GFAP, and NFL, can help identify individuals at risk before severe cognitive decline occurs. Early intervention through lifestyle modifications can drastically reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's, underscoring the importance of proactive health management.
