Role of Exercise in Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease

A review by De La Rosa and coworkers stated:

Dementia is by no means an inevitable consequence of reaching retirement age. There are lifestyle factors that may decrease, or increase, an individual's risk of developing dementia.²² Around 35% of dementia is attributable to a combination of 9 risk factors: low education level, midlife hypertension, midlife obesity, hearing loss, later-life depression, diabetes, smoking, social isolation, and, of course, low physical activity.

I would add alcohol intake to that list despite the permissive statements by many researchers who themselves enjoy libations.
