A lot of headway has been made in research to cure symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s, and new links to the causes of Alzheimer\u2019s are being discovered all the time. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what causes Alzheimer\u2019s disease, here is some helpful information that will shed light on this complex disease:<\/p>\n

Aging<\/strong><\/p>\n

While dementia and schizophrenia can strike in your early twenties, Alzheimer\u2019s is almost exclusive to those over the age of 65. Information conducted by the Mayo Clinic<\/a> reported that 95% of Alzheimer\u2019s patients are 65 or older, but that symptoms of early onset Alzheimer\u2019s can begin in your 40\u2019s and 50\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Certain Proteins Found in the Brain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s roots itself in dying brain cells. Every single day, we lose a certain amount of brain cells. Amyloid plaques, or the protein that forms around dead brain cells, is created when there\u2019s sufficient space for it to thrive. It goes from the first stage, called plaques, to the second stage, called tangles.<\/p>\n

Tangles in your brain are also called tau or formed from the disintegration of tau over time. As we age, our brain loses neurons every single day which allows more and more space for tau to form, thus bringing on Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Other Risk Factors<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are numerous factors in this toxin-ridden society that are believed to aid in the progression of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Plaques that lead to Alzheimer\u2019s are found in patients who\u2019ve sustained brain injuries, they\u2019ve been linked to gum disease, (also called periodontal disease), and are also formed from certain soil toxins found by scientists. New factors are being determined every single day, and research still has a long way to go.<\/p>\n
