At this point in time, the evidence regarding Alzheimer's disease, or more accurately, dementia in elderly people, seems to be that to some extent, it is a cardiovascular disease. Likelihood of becoming demented is decreased by the same measures that lead to decreased likelihood of heart attack or stroke. So -- EXERCISE (the cure for everything!), healthy cardio-friendly diet, and exercising your brain as well by staying active and challenging your brain by learning new things. There is some evidence that statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) may lessen the likelihood of developing dementia.

The cause of Alzheimer's disease specifically is not yet known and appears to be heavily influenced by genetics.
