Is Dementia Hereditary?


"Despite its prevalence in the aging population, Alzheimer’s is not a natural part of aging. Instead, damage to the brain results from abnormal clumps of plaque and fiber bundles collecting throughout the hippocampus, and damaged nerve cells compromise the neuron’s ability to transmit messages to different parts of the brain. Research has found that" Alzheimer’s disease is not generally inherited. 

“People with a family history of disease may have the most to gain from lifestyle changes and screening tests. In many cases, adopting a healthier lifestyle can reduce your risk for diseases that run in your family.”
