This is easy to get medical information.
It tells me that Alzheimer’s is heavily influenced by insulin resistance and this condition is mostly preventable.

Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index
The TyG Index is a marker for insulin resistance, calculated using fasting triglyceride and glucose levels.
Formula:
TyG Index = ln [ (Triglycerides x Fasting Glucose) / 2 ]
Where:
- Triglycerides are in mg/dL
- Fasting Glucose is in mg/dL
- ln is the natural logarithm
Note: Ensure measurements are in mg/dL. Convert units if necessary (e.g., from mmol/L).
- Good (Low Risk): TyG less than 8.0
- Medium (Moderate Risk): TyG 8.0 to 8.8
- Bad (High Risk): TyG greater than 8.8
Notes:
- Ranges vary by population and study.
- Use mg/dL for triglycerides and glucose.
- Consult a doctor for personal advice.

I have also heard that being diagnosed with cognitive decline accelerates cognitive decline.
It’s one of those better-not-to-know things.

I was going to take that test... But I totally forgot to.
Good thing too... I want to be the last person who knows I have Alzheimer’s, not the first one.

Correlation is *not* causation. For years, researchers have pursued any number of factors found in Alz patients, some with more likelihood than others. For example:
Schizophrenics have great amounts of Nitrous Oxides in their blood, but never develop Alz. Alz patient blood has almost zero NO.
Dentists have long noted that Alz patients have a lot of Gingivitis, inflammation of the gums. Capillaries in the gums evade the blood/brain barrier. The human mouth has some five different kinds of spirochete bacteria that can travel to the brain and die, creating plaque, found in Alz patients. The solution is once or twice a week to brush the teeth with dry baking soda, which is deadly to spirochetes.

Here’s an easy-to-use Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) Index Calculator.
(I don’t know anything about the website, and hope the calculator is accurate.)
Look up your fasting triglyceride and fasting glucose numbers from your recent blood tests, and plug the numbers into the calculator.
Make sure both numbers are mg/dL.
https://kevinforeymd.com/tygindex/
According to this calculator,
Less than 4.49 is considered optimal.
Greater than 4.49 suggests insulin resistance.
(I welcome any comments. I don’t really understand this stuff or how to calculate it.)
