摘要
A number of risk factors underlie the development of Alzheimer's disease. We propose low body temperature is also implicated. This is based on the belief that low temperature influences the biomechanics of the disease and promotes its development. Support for this hypothesis is found in a consideration of temperature effects on the disease process, in anecdotal observations and from our studies of people with Down syndrome.
