Research of Risk Factors for Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia among the elderly, which has become the focus of global public health and social attention. This study is proposed to explore the relationships between 4 factors (gender, age, years of education and socioeconomic status) with AD by the use of the Binary regression model and correlation regression. It was concluded that female have a dramatic positive impact on AD significantly (p<0.01, OR = 3.517), and the years of education will have a remarkable negative impact on the Groups (p=0.011, OR =0.784). However, the Age and socioeconomic status will not have an impact on the AD (p=0.748 and p=0.622). The early prevention is feasibility and importance to delay the onset of AD and to improve patients' quality of life. Accordingly, an effort should be made to improve the professional care and formulate relevant policies for elderly care services, especially for Women with low education.
