His study has shown that a history of stroke and head trauma
can boost your chances of coming down with debilitating symptoms
of Alzheimer's later in life, and that a college education and

even at an early age, can foretell how long we'll live and how
vulnerable we'll be to Alzheimer's decades down the line
