A new study out of the University of Arizona suggests that people at high risk for Alzheimer's may be able to delay or avoid the disease, the Arizona Republic reports.
According to a press release from the Banner Alzheimer's Institute at the University Medical Center Phoenix, researchers found that people at high risk for the disease, including those who have a family history of Alzheimer's, can delay or avoid developing the disease by taking steps such as eating right, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight.
They also found that people at higher risk for the disease, including those who have a family history of Alzheimer's, can delay or avoid developing the disease if they take steps such as eating right, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight.

The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and was presented at an Alzheimer's conference in Phoenix earlier this month.
