Taxi and Ambulance Drivers Show Lower Alzheimer's Death Rates: Study
A Harvard Medical School study found lower Alzheimer's death rates among US taxi and ambulance drivers (1.03% and 0.91%) compared to the general population (1.69%) and other transportation jobs, suggesting that memory-intensive navigation might offer some protection against Alzheimer's, though more ...

Four Early Warning Signs of Alzheimer's Disease Identified
Dr. Daniel Amen identifies four subtle early Alzheimer's signs—worsening memory, poor judgment, shorter attention span, and low mood—that can appear decades before diagnosis, affecting 80% of those with memory decline; the disease's projected increase to 13 million cases by 2050 necessitates early d...

Lifestyle and Health at 60 Strongly Predict Dementia Risk by 80
A study of 45,000 older adults found that lifestyle, genetics, and health at age 60 strongly predict dementia by age 80; factors like low cognitive scores and poor health increased risk, while education and physical activity were protective; socioeconomic disparities significantly impact risk.
