Abstract
Autosomal dominant (early-onset) Alzheimer disease and the much more common sporadic Alzheimer disease share a common pathology but not necessarily a common pathophysiology. Common cardiovascular comorbidities are associated with increased risk for Alzheimer disease and offer opportunities for intervention. Class I evidence for prevention is extremely limited. The overall body of evidence suggests the best time to intervene is in midlife, not in old age.
