My mother is 73 and has Alztimers disease. She showed signs of it about 8 years ago. She is now in the last stage. I would like to know if there is the slightest chance of taking anything daily (like asprin, advil, vitamin E)that possibly could prevent it. Are there any tests that could possibly tell me that I have a good chance of getting it?

There is nothing that I know about, but you might be better off asking an internal medicine or neurologist specialist. Try on this site.
