Diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease may share risk factors, including overlapping metabolic risk factors.

Infectious diseases are suggested to increase the long-term risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.

The 2023 International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) defines agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia as excessive motor activity, verbal aggression, or physical aggression.

Several risk factors are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

This figure represents the SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)-based genetic correlations between 8 major psychiatric disorders.

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a frequent (>1%) genomic variant at a single base position in the DNA. Some SNPs in the coding region of a gene (exon) change the amino acid sequence of a protein, and others in the coding region do not affect the protein sequence.
