Abstract：Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a progressively degenerative neurological disorder that severely threatens the health of elderly individuals,and there are currently no effective drugs to prevent its onset or slow its progression.We summarizes the epidemiological characteristics and related risk factors of AD,highlighting that its prevalence significantly increases with age,is higher in women than in men,and is more common in rural areas than in urban areas.Modifiable risk factors for AD primarily include education level,cardiovascular health,and psychosocial factors.Strengthening early screening and managing risk factors may help delay the onset of AD.
