There is a gene called APOE4 that increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The risk ia highest if your carry a double copy of APOE4. You can test yourself and see if you have a single or double copy. However, not everyone with a double copy develops Alzheimers disease. Lifestyle plays a role too - adequate sleep, exercise, nutritional factors etc. Focus in lifestyle factors that can reduce your risk.
