Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and can cause memory problems, confusion and communication issues.
Hemsworth learned that he has two copies of the gene ApoE4, one from his mother and one from his father, making him between eight and 10 times more likely to develop the disease than those without both copies of the gene.
About 2 to 3 percent of the population carries two copies of the gene.
Chris will be taking preventative steps that could slow down the disease or perhaps stop it.
“It’s all about sleep management, stress management, nutrition, movement, and fitness. It’s all kind of the same tools that need to be applied in a consistent way.”
The Limitless series sees Hemsworth test his body and explore ways to live longer and healthier.
