You are in Member Communities . There is no way to predict who will get Alzheimer's disease, unless people in your husband's family have one of the familial or hereditary strains of the disease. People with the familial type develop the disease at a very early age, and certainly can have genetic testing to determine if they have one of the familial strains.
Age is the biggest risk factor.
If your husband is showing signs of a problem, it would be very prudent for him to have a complete evaluation. With newer medications, many people can extend function with the disease or impending disease much longer. All rights reserved.
