Those at Increased Risk for Alzheimer’s May Benefit from Exercise

In a report from Health Day, those at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s may benefit from exercise. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Social Security disability benefits may be available.

The benefits of an active lifestyle are specifically linked to a genetic risk factor, APOE e4 allele. This gene is evident in a high number of patients with Alzheimer’s.

Studies have shown that the existence or non-existence of this particular gene may be related to lifestyle activities, such as exercise. It also has been linked to dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment.

The gene is also found to play a role in the amount of amyloid deposits, another association to those with Alzheimer’s. Those with higher amounts of amyloid deposits are at risk of Alzheimer’s. Exercise appears to reduce these levels, particularly in those with the APOE e4 gene.

Exercise can benefit individuals a number of ways. Reducing the chance of Alzheimer’s is just one of them.
