Extensive epidemiological and clinical evidence demonstrates that modifiable environmental, lifestyle, and health factors significantly influence the prevalence and risk of Alzheimer's disease alongside age and genetics.

The Epidemiology of Alzheimer's Disease Modifiable Risk Factors and Prevention
2021 · cited by 688
The paper notes that Alzheimer's disease is determined by the interaction of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors across the life course.

The analysis

The retrieved literature universally supports the claim that Alzheimer's disease is a multifactorial disorder influenced by modifiable environmental, lifestyle, and health factors in addition to age and genetics. Multiple reviews, cohort studies, and genetic association papers confirm that a substantial portion of Alzheimer's risk and prevalence is tied to these non-genetic, non-age factors. Therefore, the verdict is SUPPORTED with no contradictory evidence.
