Non-familial Alzheimer's disease is mainly due to genetic factors.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD - 1 Jun 2002

Ashford J Wesson, Mortimer James A

Abstract excerpt

This team takes the position that what is commonly referred to as non-familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) is predominantly due to genetic factors. Population-based studies suggest that genetic factors cause the majority of cases that begin after age 60. There are several lines of evidence supporting this position: Data from the Nun Study suggest that the risk for AD is largely established by early adulthood,...
