My father had dementia and a fall and broken hip need his life at 86 years old. My mom is 94 with hearing and eye sight impairments and mild cognitive function. I will be 70 early next year and worry because of heavy drinking in my younger years and benzodiazapines use over the past 5 years. Would like to get tested for hereditary gene and to my dismay, found out Zanax causes a 50 percent increase in the risk of developing Alzheimer's. Currently trying to slow taper from benzos, but the withdrawal is brutal. Any suggestions for a positive game plan going forward?

Alzheimer’s disease is almost entirely preventable, and you are a perfect example of what it takes. Intelligence, discipline, open-mindedness, and attention to detail. Keep up the great work, you are making a very big positive difference in the world, especially for people like us with an Aop E4 allele or two.
