Longevity & Lifestyle
summary
Claim: a large share of future Alzheimer's may be prevented by midlife lifestyle, not new drugs. Uses brain imaging (MRI, PET) and genomics to track risk and show pathology appears 20–40 year window before symptoms. Gives hard numbers: 13 million U.S. cases by 2050, ~1% explained by deterministic mutations (~130,000) and about 70% potentially lifestyle-related (~9 million). Compares scans: long-term Mediterranean diet correlates with larger hippocampi and less atrophy versus processed-food diets.
