How is it possible that neurosurgeons die from Alzheimer's at a much higher rate than they do from other disorders? What could be causing this?

 

The following factors increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

1. Living to an old enough age, because everyone who does not die first from some other cause will eventually succumb to Alzheimer’s disease.

2. A poor lifestyle and diet.

3. Prolonged stress of a mental, physical and/or chemical nature. Examples of each type of stress are: constant worry or PTSD, overdoing physical training, excessive tobacco smoking or alcohol consumption.

4. A metabolic magnesium deficiency.
