" As of now, there’s not a lot we can do that’s unique to people who have ApoE or any genetic risk factor. At the end of the day, a person living a life filled with meaning and activity, whether it’s physical or social, is doing the best thing as far as prevention. Hopefully with these genetic studies, we can figure out more pathways and interventions that may not require medications, but will reduce our risk. "
