Severe stress in middle age can lead to Alzheimer's by damaging the brain, experts warn. 1  Canadian scientists believe neurons involved in chronic anxiety and fear 'extensively overlap' in areas also associated with Alzheimer's disease.  Stress in middle age could cause dementia by damaging the brain, new research suggests. Neurons involved in chronic anxiety and fear 'extensively overlap' in areas also associated with Alzheimer's disease, say scientists. Mid-life stress has been previously linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists have identified factors that increase the risk of Alzheimerâs. The most important risk factorsâage, family history and heredityâcan't be changed, but emerging evidence suggests there may be other factors we can influence.he greatest known risk factor for Alzheimerâs is advancing age. For example, while one of nine people age 65 or older has Alzheimer's, nearly one of three people age 85 or older has the disease. One of the greatest mysteries of Alzheimer's disease is why risk rises so dramatically as we grow older.
