Dr. David Carr, a renowned professor of medicine and neurology, discusses the risk factors and treatments for Alzheimer's and dementia. He highlights that primary insomnias associated with neurodegenerative brain diseases can accelerate brain decline. The lifetime risk of Alzheimer's in the mid-50s is 10%, rising to 30% with a family history. He emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis through biomarker tests like amyloid PET scans. Preventative measures include a healthy lifestyle, B12 supplementation, and medium-chain triglycerides. Recent treatments include Lecanemab, which slows disease progression. Dr. Carr also stresses the importance of caregiver support and ongoing research.
