The book "The End of Alzheimer's" by Bredesen postulates that there are around 36 risk factors for Alzheimer's. It takes many of them in combination to cause the disease.

This is why studies isolating just one factor have failed to find a significant correlation. It's why there will likely never be a pill to cure it.

The book suggests therapy addressing all of the risk factors. Most of those are simply healthy living. Personally, I've been bending my lifestyle to conform to those. Can't hurt.
