Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia (and the most common type) that affects memory, behavior, and thinking. Although Alzheimer’s is not a “regular” part of aging it is more common as we age. Dementia unlike Alzheimer’s is not a particular disease rather a term that describes a wide variety of symptoms. Age, family health history, and genetics all play a role in Alzheimer’s, but they do not guarantee that you will have the disease, even though there is a higher chance.

Alzheimer’s facts:
Your metabolic syndrome can put you at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s and dementia. A metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors that increase your risk to certain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, heart disease and much more. Metabolic syndrome is also referred to as insulin resistance syndrome. The good news is that is not a disease but rather more of a risk factor.

People who are at risk for the metabolic causes of dementia include anyone who have the following:
Endocrine disorders
Hypothyroidism
Inflammatory conditions
Some autoimmune conditions
Insulin disorders
Hyperparathyroidism
Liver cirrhosis
Chronic hypoglycemia (common in people who use insulin)
Exposure to heavy metal toxicity like lead, arsenic, mercury, or manganese
