There is no correlation. Alzheimer’s seems to be tied to other factors such as brain injury, atrophy and just plain getting old.
I see Dementia in a lot of people who retire and do almost nothing. When confusion starts occurring, they double down on doing nothing.
I don’t believe you can say that with certainty. Too much is unknown.
Look at the new discovery that it is contagious...or thought to be due to dental procedures , etc.
I almost want to slap ANYONE who says Alzheimers comes from letting your brain be less active.
You couldn’t have a busier, richer, more social life than either of my parents. They retired.... And I could never find them. They traveled, they remodeled their several homes, built a new one, had friends and lots of family and were busier than ever. My dad did small medical practice accounting for other firms for FUN because he liked to stay busy and did math backwards in his head. He had tons of Wall Street investments that he followed online daily. He also became a medical expert witness in trials. My mom ran committees, was on condo boards, etc. They were busy and happy and youthful.
Both of them have Alzheimer’s. My dad is near the end. It hit them both in their very late 70s.
IT IS TOTAL BULL THAT ALZHEIMERS CAN BE PREVENTED BY AN ACTIVE BRAIN OR SOCIAL LIFE.
Please believe me.
