Skip Navigation Testimony Statement by Richard J. Hodes, M.D. Director, National Institute on Aging on Alzheimer's Disease Research The Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education March 23, 2004 As you know, AD is a devastating condition with a profound impact on individuals, families, the health care system, and society as a whole. Approximately 4.5 million Americans are currently battling AD, with annual costs for the disease estimated to exceed $100 billion. Moreover, the rapid aging of the American population threatens to increase this burden significantly in the coming decades: Demographic studies suggest that if current trends hold, the annual number of incident cases of AD will begin to sharply increase around the year 2030, when all the baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) will be over age 65. By the year 2050, the number of Americans with AD could rise to some 13.2 million, an almost three-fold increase. Risk Factors Many Americans wonder whether they or their loved ones are at risk of developing AD. Sadly, as they age, many of them will be. The risk of AD increases dramatically with age, with nearly half of all individuals over age 85 being diagnosed.

85. Vitamin E As An Antioxidant age and genetic structure, diet, exercise, blood pressure and even cholesterollevel may play a significant role in connection with Alzheimer s disease. http://www.therubins.com/alzheim/alzvitE19.htm

Vitamin E as an Antioxidant-Alzheimer's Disease-Part XIX Researchers at Case Western University concluded that individuals who eat a diet that is low in fat and high in antioxidants like vitamins C and E, fish, vegetables and whole grains did reduce the risk of suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The researchers looked at the diets of 96 Alzheimer patients and compared it to the diets of almost 190 people who did not suffer from Alzheimer's. This point became even more obvious for individuals who had the Apo-e4 gene that has been linked to the disease. Studies now point to the fact that besides age and genetic structure, diet, exercise, blood pressure and even cholesterol level may play a significant role in connection with Alzheimer's disease. Finnish researchers who have studied almost 1,500 individuals for an average of 21 years have found that high cholesterol and blood pressure appear to increase the risk of the disease even more than carrying the Apo-e4 gene. Their study also found a high correlation between high blood pressure and Alzheimer's disease. Two population-based studies mentioned in the June 26, 2002 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggest that vitamin E in its natural form (nuts, leafy green vegetables etc.) reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer' s Disease: A Summary of Research FindingsThrough July, 2002-Part XVII After writing 16 articles on various aspects of Alzheimer's disease, it would seem helpful to our readers to summarize what is known about the disease as reflected in the many peer reviewed studies published in the research literature. More detailed information on many of the items listed below can be found in the various articles in this series. These conclusions are subject to future research findings, but represent the most recent state of knowledge in the field. Alzheimer' s disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and is considered nonreversible at present. Alzheimer' s disease involves progressive deterioration in intellectual abilities, namely loss of memory, and, finally, in loss of mental and physical function. Behavioral symptoms associated with Alzheimer' s disease include delusional thinking, suspiciousness, hallucinations, agitation, violence and verbal outbursts. Many of these symptoms may be amenable to pharmacological intervention. Roughly 7% of the population over 65 years of age has Alzheimer' s disease. (Common number used is 4 million in the United States.

The UK national press has recently discussed some recent research in mice which been artificially predisposed to develop the amyloid plaques charac. of Alzheimers. It has been found that a diet low in cholesterol reduces the rate of formation, and high in cholesterol increases formation drastically. It was suspected that this might be the case, because the gene which predisposes to Alzheimers is concerned with tranporting cholesterol to needed sites in neurones, and the bad (Alz) variant is not so good at delivering, and dumps it in the neurone body. If too much is dumped there, a function of blood levels, the plaques develop. It would be wise too to take account of the research which shows that a good indicator of age of onset of dementias of all kinds is the previous brain insult history, i.e., the more often you get knocked out by a blow to the head, an anaesthetic, recreational drugs, or drink, the earlier you are likely to develop dementia. I'm rather startled by how many health and fitness fanatics, who spend lots of money and time ensuring the good health of their bodies, seem quite happy to regularly poison their brains for a bit of weekend fun. In other words, if you want your brain to last, be nice to it.

Alzheimer's Disease Dietary Links to Alzheimer's Disease William B Grant, PhD Summary: Recent findings that elderly African-Americans and Japanese living in the United States have much higher prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (6.24% and 4.1%, respectively) than those still living in their ethnic homelands ( <2%) suggested that environmental rather than genetic factors are the primary agents causing Alzheimer’s disease. Recent papers linking clinical expression of Alzheimer’s disease to oxidative stress and cerebral infarct suggest that diet is a key factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. To test this hypothesis, regression analyses were performed on the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in the 65+ age population for 11 countries obtained from 18 community-wide studies versus components of the national diets. ...thereby strongly supporting and quantifying the hypothesis that fat consumption , with assistance from total caloric consumption, is the primary cause of AD.

These reports include investigations of dietary fats, antioxidants, and estrogen, as well as possible genetic factors. The reports are based on research supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), which leads the Federal Government’s effort to conduct and support research on AD and on aging generally. The NIA is part of the National Institutes of Health at the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. Here's what the research suggests in regard to factors that affect Alzheimer's risk. Dietary Fats and Alzheimer's Risk High intake of unsaturated, unhydrogenated fats may be protective against AD; consuming saturated or trans-unsaturated fats may increase risk. Antioxidant Vitamins and Alzheimer's Risk diet and supplementals were not found to be associated with decreased risk of AD.

Archived articles Search Saga Health for: Alzheimer’s disease: where we are now While there is no cure in sight as yet, scientists are getting closer to understanding how lifestyle may affect the risk of developing symptoms. Do aluminium saucepans cause Alzheimer's disease? Does smoking protect against it? Can you escape it by keeping your brain stimulated? When researchers investigating these and other possibilities met in Stockholm recently to compare notes, one major theme emerged: protecting cardiovascular health protects against dementia. Although there is no guaranteed way to protect yourself from Alzheimer's disease (AD), the word from the scientific front is that making lifestyle changes that promote healthy ageing should be an important priority. William Thies, vice-president of medical and scientific affairs for the American Alzheimer's Association says: “your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels as well as your body weight, contribute to healthier ageing and may decrease your risk for AD.” Reducing risk factors Several research teams reported that the risk factors which are important for heart attacks and strokes – high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood cholesterol levels – may also play a role in triggering the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. One fascinating finding came from the long-running Nun Study in the USA. (see Saga magazine, September). When their brains were examined after their death, some Sisters showed signs of AD yet they had experienced no memory loss in life. But neither had they suffered strokes.

The disease is thought to be responsible for 75 percent of dementia in those 65 years and older. The disease pro­gresses over several years. Unfortunately, the intellectual and personal decline that typically results from Alzheimer’s cannot be curtailed as of yet. The disease affects over 4 mil­lion Americans and is responsible for 20 percent of patients in nursing homes or chronic care facilities. The disease rarely manifests itself before age 60. Up to 30 percent of people over 85 suffer from Alzheimer’s. Symptoms There are three general stages to the disease. Initial symptoms include increasing forgetfulness, which may be addressed by the almost obsessive writing of lists.

Home Medi News Medical Tidbits Interesting Topics ... Manbir Mail This disease, Alzheimer's disease was first described by a German physician Alois Alzheimer 90 years ago. He first demonstrated the typical microscopic changes in the autopsy of a woman in her 50s who had suffered what seemed to be a mental illness. Through microscope he saw brain cells filled with twisted strands of fiber, surrounded by dense deposits - these features are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In this disorder gradual decline of brain function leads inevitably to death, anywhere from 3 to 20 years after the disease is diagnosed. Child Nutrition and Alzheimer's disease Poorly nourished children appear to be at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease as compared to well nourished children. Those shorter than 5 feet have more chance of developing symptoms of cognitive impairment. New Alzheimer's Gene Located. A new study has located a Gene at a new place on chromosome 12. The study has shown increased risk of late onset Alzheimer's with this gene. A study conducted at university of Toronto showed that APOE gene located on chromosome 19, the one most commonly associated with late onset Alzheimer's, accounted for much, but not all, the risk in those with this disease. They also found that the gene on chromosome 12 seems to play a role in the Alzheimer's risk.
