Unfortunately, incidence of Alzheimer's disease increases with age and there is no evidence that you would be safer as you get older. Alzheimer changes in the brain might occur in everybody if that person lived long enough. However, clinical symptoms of dementia might not occur if that person did not have any vascular changes in the brain. So, keep your blood pressure and cholesterol in control and exercise regularly.
