Scientists have long known that genetics play a role in Alzheimer’s disease risk. Some genetic markers appear to increase the likelihood of developing the condition, while others seem to offer a degree of protection against cognitive decline and brain aging.
One of the most important genes researchers study is called APOE. Everyone inherits two copies, but the specific version you carry may influence how resilient your brain is over time. In particular, one version called APOE4 is strongly linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, while another, APOE2, is associated with lower risk and even exceptional longevity.
Now, new research may help explain why (and why some may be more resilient to aging than others).

The Alzheimer’s Association today announced the launch of (re)think your brain™, a new science-based initiative designed to move people from brain health awareness to action. The initiative expands how people understand and care for their brains and introduces the (re)think your brain 6-Step Challenge, a step-by-step guide with proven practical actions people can start right away to help support brain health and cognitive function.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association 2026 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, nearly nine in 10 U.S. adults say maintaining brain health as they age is very important, and 99% say it is as important as physical health. Yet only 9% say they know how to maintain their brain health, revealing a clear gap between awareness and action.

Consumption of eggs is associated with a lower risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease for those 65 years and older, according to researchers at Loma Linda University Health
Eating one egg per day for at least five days a week reduces risk of Alzheimer’s by up to 27%, researchers found.
“Compared to never eating eggs, eating at least five eggs per week can decrease risk of Alzheimer’s,” said Joan Sabaté, MD, DrPH, a professor at Loma Linda University School of Public Health and the study’s principal investigator.
