Alzheimer the dread of age...?

Alzheimer has always been linked to age, high age as well as genetic predisposition. A new study concerning itself with social isolation has brought up a very interesting new lead. Which suggests that Alzheimer is more likely to develop if the subject is socially isolated, that the degradation of the neural pathways is likely to be increased by the reduced use that is accompanied by social isolation. Further studies are required to confirm what is now being suspected which is that genes might not even play as great a role as has been believed until now and that social interaction might already greatly decrease the risk of Alzheimer.
