I am normally not a hypochondriac but I do have a history of AD in my family and I suffer from frequent memory loss. I am 35.

There are degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's at all ages, but the most likely reason for poor memory in someone in their 30's is something interfering with their paying attention, like anxiety or something similar. If this bothers you, start with your family doctor to make sure you don't have any common medical problems. Neurological disease causing this at 35 is not common.
There's only a significantly increased chance of you ever getting AD if your relatives got it before the age of 65 or so.

That's a little young for Early Onset Alzheimer's but if you are that worried go to your doctor and ask for cognitive testing. Any doctor can administer the tests. If you are impaired, the next step will be blood tests and brain scans to determine the cause.
Early Onset is any age before 65. My dad's AD was diagnosed when he was 62 but with hindsight we can see he started having symptoms when he was around 55.

"Early onset Alzheimer's" can strike human beings of their 30's. Supposedly there grew to become right into a case of somebody basically 29 (see first link). this text says everybody youthful than sixty 5 who gets Alzheimer's has "early onset" yet I relatively have examine someplace else that the "early onset" version is one hundred% genetic (without environmental aspects).

Not sure what the earliest age is for 'early onset' Alzheimer's but my uncle got it at 53. It took him out very fast and he was in a nursing home with in a year or two. He passed away last year at 65.

I just read a news article about it this morning. If you have a history of AD, symptoms can start manifesting as early as your 30's. See a doctor and get tested. The article is below.

My guess and this is just a guess would be that you may show signs throughout your life but not get the disease until late 50's to early 60's, again I don't know for sure but that would be my guess. Normally that is a disease that elderly people get.

65 is the earliest, but that is only statistical analyses, doesn't mean there can't be exceptions
