Alzheimer's Inheritance: Navigating the Odds with a Maternal History
If you have a family history of Alzheimer's, it's important to be vigilant about any cognitive changes.
When a parent, especially a mother, has Alzheimer's, there's a heightened genetic risk for their children. Research has shown that individuals with a first-degree relative, like a mother, with Alzheimer's are more likely to develop the disease themselves.
However, despite genetic predisposition, there are steps one can take to potentially reduce their risk. Engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, stimulating mental activity, and staying socially engaged have all been linked to a decreased risk of Alzheimer's.

Add regular check-ups and cognitive assessments-these can lead to early intervention, which can make a significant difference.
