Indeed - my mother is entering the advanced stages of the disease, and it started to be quite noticeable in her late 60s. I don't even plan on having retired by then! Both of her parents had the disease, so I figure I have at least a 50% chance, likely greater. The video mentioned that you would need to start treating the amyloid plaques at least a decade before symptoms start. When the kids are a little older, I plan on entering a longer-term study or drug trial well before I have any signs of the disease, there are several currently going on. Regardless of whether I ultimately would acquire it without any treatment, I have a very keen interest in helping further research on the disease. It is not a pretty thing for the individual or their family to go through, in my mom's case it's been nearly a decade of gradual but steady decline, with my dad in his mid-70s as her primary caretaker. In another 10 years, there will be a huge upsurge of baby boomers in a similar situation.
