Q My mother has Alzheimer's, and I'm concerned I could be a Victim later. Can it be prevented?

A Studies indicate that Alzheimer's disease, a degenerative brain disorder, begins decades before symptoms appear. Researchers now say there is evidence that the risk can be reduced by taking a daily dose of a substance like aspirin or ibuprofen. (Do not begin this regimen without the approval of your doctor.) Specific drugs and eating a low-fat diet can also reduce your risk, doctors say.
