I don't remember ever seeing anything increase the risk of Alzheimer

Thank you. With everybody giving me serious replies I was starting to think I had mixed up different diseases.

A few days ago there was a study showing that people who live within a few miles of a golf course raises chances of alzheimers over 100 percent

I'd like to see two things.

The demographics of people who live within a few miles of golf courses. Are they wealthier with better Healthcare, allowing them to live long enough to develop Alzheimer's?
Were pesticides used heavily in the golf courses surveyed?

As with all statistics, more data = context.

I think its mostly about the pesticide. I live across the street from a golf course and am by no means wealthy.

Well it seems not getting cold sores increases the risk...
