Aliquot #82: Reducing Alzheimer’s Risk for APOE4 Carriers
APOE is a protein involved in lipid transport. A variant of APOE called APOE4 is the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. APOE4 also increases a person's risk for cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle factors, such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, and others, can temper some of the risks associated with carrying APOE4. This Aliquot focuses on the ones that can have the greatest benefits – and the ones that do the most harm.
