All important, but the focus of the article is on the drug and finding more candidates for the drug.

It is a marketing pattern that Big Pharma follows. Create an expensive drug with limited benefit at best and
significant dangers then encourage an expanded diagnosis of the condition to sell more and
more of the drug. This is for the benefit of the stockholders not the patients and will cost taxpayers
and medicare billions.


Edited to add that diet is probably the most important component. A recent study says
"Alzheimer’s may stem from modern lifestyles, new study suggests"
