Scientists have identified factors that increase the risk of Alzheimer's. (alz.org)
The greatest known risk factor for Alzheimer's is increasing age, but Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging. (alz.org)
While age increases risk, it is not a direct cause of Alzheimer's. (alz.org)
After age 65, the risk of Alzheimer's doubles every five years. (alz.org)
It is estimated that less than 1 percent of Alzheimer's cases are caused by deterministic genes (genes that cause a disease, rather than increase the risk of developing a disease). (alz.org)
The risk of developing Alzheimer's or vascular dementia appears to be increased by many conditions that damage the heart and blood vessels. (alz.org)

The estimate is based on a large, well-conducted review that looked at how seven lifestyle-related risk factors relate to the risk of Alzheimer's disease. (www.nhs.uk)
The review determined how strongly the risk factors, which included obesity and smoking, were associated with Alzheimer's disease and the proportion of people worldwide and in the US whose condition could be attributed to these factors. (www.nhs.uk)
The study found that approximately half of all cases of Alzheimer's disease were associated with one or more of the risk factors - diabetes, midlife high blood pressure, midlife obesity, depression, physical inactivity, smoking and low education. (www.nhs.uk)
Although this important research updates knowledge on potential risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, it should be stressed that associations between these lifestyle factors and Alzheimer's does not mean that they cause the disease. (www.nhs.uk)
It should be noted that in this case the term 'risk' does not necessarily mean that a factor causes Alzheimer's disease - it relates to the chance of people in different groups having Alzheimer's disease. (www.nhs.uk)
For example, when examining the risk associated with smoking it would examine the proportion of smokers and non-smokers with Alzheimer's disease, but this does not necessarily mean that Alzheimer's disease is directly caused by smoking. (www.nhs.uk)
They also wanted to estimate how reducing the number of people with each risk factor would affect the number of people who go on to have Alzheimer's disease. (www.nhs.uk)
They looked for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, written in English and published between 2005 and 2011, which had examined the associations between these risk factors and Alzheimer's disease or dementia. (www.nhs.uk)

The new genes appear to create only a moderate increase in breast cancer risk, but are present in a large percentage of the population. (npr.org)
Scientists found two genes - BRCA1, BRCA2 - that if they had certain mutations dramatically increase the risk of breast cancer. (npr.org)
Dr. HUNTER: Well, some of them variance in genes, some of them genetic regions that we use new technologies to scan the human genome for inherited variants that are associated with increased risk of breast cancer. (npr.org)
The other groups concern additional genetic regions and the variance in those genes associated with breast cancer risk. (npr.org)
And these new technologies allow us to look at gene variants that convey much lower degrees of risk than BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are the classic, very high-risk genes. (npr.org)
And so, this is really the first reports of probably a series of reports as we really access these lower-risk genes for the first time. (npr.org)
So by definition, the risks had to be very high for the variance from those genes in order to create those families with a very high burden. (npr.org)
