There are more than 20 different genes in the brain that can put a person at risk for dementia. The APOE gene is the first gene from research to determine the cause of Alzheimer's disease.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 55 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer's disease. About 60% of these patients are from low- or middle-income countries. The rate at which dementia is on the rise is estimated to reach 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050.

In addition, tolerance, late sleep and wakefulness, smoking, and an unbalanced diet can also lead to memory impairment.
It should be noted that people who adopt mental and physical routines regularly are less likely to suffer from amnesia. It is also important to note that various researchers’ evidence from previous years has shown that air pollution also increases the risk of dementia.
