Inflammation is a symptom, not a condition on its own. It being related to Alzheimer’s means there is a potentially single underlying cause

They say things are caused by inflammation all the time though, is that a euphemism?

No, it means it's a chain.

Something is causing the inflammation, then the inflammation causes something else. In that case you wouldn't treat the inflammation, you would treat the cause of the inflammation.
