Alzheimer’s Risk May Begin Before 30, New Study Warns

A new study led by researchers at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and the Columbia Butler Aging Center reveals that risk factors and biological markers linked to Alzheimer’s disease may influence cognitive function much earlier in life than previously thought. The research found significant associations between cognitive performance and Alzheimer's-related risk factors in individuals as young as 24 to 44 years old, emphasizing the need for early intervention and prevention strategies.
