Research indicates that Alzheimer's disease impacts not only the brain but also influences aging, fat metabolism, and gut health. A recent study using fruit flies shows that proteins linked to Alzheimer's, such as amyloid-beta and tau, can accelerate biological aging and cause widespread effects on organs beyond the nervous system.
