What causes the disease?

There are many factors that researchers believe can lead to Alzheimer's disease.  These include:

"-Chemical factors:  Neurotransmitters or chemical messengers help in transmission of information from nerve endings of the brain. Any hindrance in the action of these messengers will have a detrimental effect on the functioning of the brain.

-Vascular disturbances: Diminished blood supply to the brain caused by aging or injury may be a causative factor of dementia and neurological conditions.

-Pre-existing conditions: Illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol have all
been linked as causes of Alzheimer’s.

-Genetic predisposition: Down’s syndrome and history of dementia are the two genetic factors that predispose a person to Alzheimer’s disease.

-Autoimmune diseases: These diseases trigger the response that causes the body’s immune system
to attack its own cells by producing antibodies. It is postulated that inflammatory conditions also attack brain tissue."  (1)

Currently there is no single cause for Alzheimer's disease.  It is believed to be a combination of many factors.
