I don;t think its the lean mucsle mass compared to those with higher fat mass that is the factor in predicting/preventing alzimcers, but more about the life style those ppl lead who get keep the muscle mass compared to those who loose it.. its the diet, exercise, sleep, stress etc is the factors the prevent alzimers..

It should also be the hormones as well that need to be looked at too..
