I recall reading research in India about a particular area that had abnormally low rates of Alzheimers (adjusted for lower life expectancy), the conclusion was that the locals had unusually low cholesterol diets.
These studies are kind of dangerous because they looked for a fact among the population and created causation where none existed. For example, let's assume the area drinks only goat milk, all have 3 or more kids, or has mostly single people.....then one can conclude these are all responsible for lower rates of Alzheimers.
Although I would believe the single people link because after 30-40 years of marriage you want to forget the nagging haha.
