'Super agers' have genetic advantages against Alzheimer's disease

I'm so stoked about this study on super agers! It's crazy to think that there are people out there living their best lives at 80+ and still going strong . The fact that these genetic traits can be identified is just amazing . And the idea that APOE-ε2 might hold the key to preventing Alzheimer's is like, totally game-changing . Of course, lifestyle plays a huge role in this too, but it's awesome to see scientists digging deeper into what makes super agers tick . Can't wait to see where this research takes us!

I'm low-key obsessed with this study on super agers! Who wouldn't want to know the secrets behind staying sharp and healthy well into their 80s? The fact that they have like, a 68% lower incidence rate of Alzheimer's just blows my mind! And can we talk about how cool it is that this APOE-ε2 gene thingy actually offers protection against Alzheimer's? I'm all for exploring new ways to prevent and even treat this disease. Let's get on the APOE-ε2 bandwagon, people!

I'm not surprised by this study, reminds me of my grandma who lived till 92 and was still playing bingo with us every week . She had no Alzheimer's and we often wondered how she managed it all those years. Anyway, genetics play a huge role in Super Aging, but let's be real, the lifestyle part is what really sets them apart - regular exercise, not smoking, eating like nonna ... you know? My cousin's sister (my aunt) took care of her mom with Alzheimer's and it was heartbreaking . So while this study is exciting, we gotta remember that there's more to Super Aging than just genetics

omg u gotta believe this study on super agers is LIFE CHANGING!!! i've been saying it 4eva that genetics play a huge role in aging & alzheimers, n ow we got def some proof like wot r u even gonna do wit this info?! 1st off, no APOE-ε4 means less chance of alzheimers... genius! but wut's crazy is that super agers got way more APOE-ε2, which we thought was all about protection & now it sounds like it might b the real deal lesley gaynor from Vanderbilt u medical center says its def proof & i'm over here like "YAAAS, LEAGUE!" also gotta acknowledge lifestyle stuff matters 4 sure, but genetics is key too can't wait 2 c wut comes next in therpy & research...

I'm glad we're getting closer to understanding what makes super agers tick. This is a major breakthrough, but let's not forget that lifestyle factors like exercise and social connections are still key. It's not just about genetics, it's about how we live our lives too.

I don’t usually comment but... it’s wild to think that genetics can be so crucial in determining our resistance to Alzheimer's. I mean, we all know about lifestyle factors like exercise and socializing being important for brain health, but this study is like a whole new layer of understanding. The idea that certain genes can shield us from the disease at such an old age is just mind-blowing . It makes me wonder if there are other genetic markers or factors at play too...
