Question:
What is the youngest age a person can get alzheimer's?
I am normally not a hypochondriac but I do have a history of AD in my family and I suffer from frequent memory loss. I am 35.
Answers:
There are degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's at all ages, but the most likely reason for poor memory in someone in their 30's is something interfering with their paying attention, like anxiety or something similar. If this bothers you, start with your family doctor to make sure you don't have any common medical problems. Neurological disease causing this at 35 is not common.
There's only a significantly increased chance of you ever getting AD if your relatives got it before the age of 65 or so.
