At this time, there is no known way to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

While none of these products or substances have been proven to prevent Alzheimer's disease, researchers are studying the possibility that you may be able to reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or delay the onset of the disease by:

Taking a moderate amount of vitamin E and other antioxidants. 3
Increasing your intake of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 if you have elevated homocysteine levels.
Taking a daily dose of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as indomethacin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or aspirin.
Taking statins, which are used to lower cholesterol.
Talk with your doctor before using any of these products to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

There is limited evidence that older adults who stay mentally active may be at lower risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. 4 Regularly reading newspapers, books, and magazines, playing cards and other games, working crossword puzzles, going to museums, and even actively watching television or listening to the radio may help you avoid developing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. While this "use it or lose it" approach has not been proven, no harm can come from regularly putting your brain to work.

As we learn more about the causes of Alzheimer's disease, we also may learn more about how to prevent the disease. Drugs currently in development to prevent the formation of neurofibrillary "tangles" or amyloid plaques that damage the nerve cells in the brain may someday be used in people who are at risk for Alzheimer's.

Research into a vaccine for Alzheimer's disease is ongoing.
