Now i do not have the best Relation with my Mother of course and i did sometimes wish her not so nice Things back in my Teen years but nonetheless i still do not think shed deserve Dementia/Alzheimers :(

Anyways basically my Mothers Life Style is very much "Normal Woman 50+ Life Style" itd say >.>

She does do Sports a few Times a Month mostly Aqua Gym and walking with the Dogs obviously with my Dad but she forgets A LOT of Stuff

For Example she asks my something at the Beginning of the Day and she asks me this again later in the Day >.>

Or sometimes she asks me Stuff 3 Times in a Row on Different Days Day after Day >.>

I am obviously not an Expert on Dimentia but arent those atleast somewhat eraly Signs? >.>

For Example my Mom is also someone who outside of that usually goes every Weekend drinking a Beer and Partying which is like whatever but now she drinks a Beer usually every Day because "it calms her down" which is from what ive read also not Good :(

Another Issue is also that outside of the Few Times she does Sports and Parties and Walks the Dog and Cleans the House(Dishes that she also watches TV all Day which like im not trying to frame People of course like that >.>
But it just feels something off to me in that COmbo of Drinking Beer all Day and Watching TV all Day that its not get for preventing Dementia or Alzheimers :(

My Mom also used to be a Heavy Smoker but quit like 2 Years AGo iirc >.>
But yea overall i wouldnt say im trying to Frame her in such a Light but im just wondering what other Internet People maybe have to say about these Symptoms who maybe even have someone in their Family with ALzheimers :(
Afterall i can do is Read Online Articles and Books about it :(

I am mostly wondering about this because i am very Scared of it myself :(
I am just 22 turning 23 Years Old this Year and combined with my Autism and other Health Issues which ive read can gurantee Alzheimers/Demntia even it scares me a lot :(

I did loose Weight now due to my Healthier Eating Habits and write Code here and there but i wouldnt really say i do Sports much or "learn new SKills" :(
I am learning some Guitar Skills but overall itd say im as "Lazy" as her :(
I just dont wanna wake up one Day and be told that i have Dimentia :(

Feral is putting it mildly.

Are you in the OA group, or just hoping that it'll produce some effect that wasn't even reported in that study?

Old enough, with familial Alz as noted. There's linkage between A and neuroinflammation, plus I actually physically feel better, especially after oxidative stress, so it gets associated with a positive. There are other biochemical aspects as well, glycine / methionine balance among others, but we're getting into the weeds.
