 Can Alzheimer's Be Prevented?
Whether Alzheimer's can be prevented is a question that continues to intrigue researchers and fuel new investigations. There are no clear cut answers yet - partially due to the need for more large-scale studies - but promising research is under way. The Alzheimer's Association continues to fund studies exploring the influence of mental fitness, physical fitness, diet and environment. As the number of people affected by Alzheimer's rises, the effort to find prevention strategies continues to gain momentum.
