A number of environmental factors have been put forward as possible contributory causes of Alzheimer's disease in some people and among these is aluminium.
Current medical and scientific opinion of the relevant research indicates that the findings do not convincingly demonstrate a causal relationship between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore no useful medical or public health recommendations can be made at present.
