%X Background: Alzheimer¡¯s disease is a form of dementia, mainly strikes people in their 60 and 70s. While no one cause has been determined, researchers have identified certain factors which may put people at a higher risk of developing the disease. Iran¡¯s Alzheimer Association has announced that more than 35% of people over 80 years old suffers from this problem across the country. This paper aims to investigate modifiable risk factors of Alzheimer¡¯s disease based on Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox regression analysis (proportional hazard model) and to find out which factors are related to developing of this disease
