The person's genetics and age.
Age is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (risk rises sharply after about age 65), and genetic factors (e.g., familial early‑onset mutations and the APOE ε4 allele) materially affect a person’s susceptibility. Environmental, social, and lifestyle factors (education, cardiovascular health, exercise, social engagement) also influence risk but less determinatively than age and genetics.
