I'm going to say something that may sound horrible but i've had multiple relatives die from Alzheimer's.
One thing that people aren't aware of is that people dying from advanced alheimers happens all the time. People are discovered in autopsy after autopsy after autopsy to have died with advanced alheimers and never showed any symptoms or signs of being affected. It largely has to do with cognitive demand you put on your brain, day in and day out. Use it or lose it. When i think back about my grandparents, they were "retired" and withered away quickly,.... but they did nothing to challenge themselves daily mentally - where a mathematics professor can die of any cause and be discovered to have had advanced Alzheimer and had never shown any signs as he was placing a very high cognitive load on his brain daily which forces the brain to continue to create and develop alternative pathways to work around/bypass and restore lost function.
A neuroscientist familiar with the disease would suggest that if you want to preserve brain function and slow it down, you have to actively and exhaustively work the brain.
