The diversity and variability in caregiver problems suggest that interventions that provide a range of services designed to improve family support and provide group support to alleviate the burden of caring for relatives with AD can have the greatest impact on caregiver well-being (Kennet, Burgio, & Schulz, 2000; Zarit, Orr, & Zarit, 1985). It seems reasonable to presume that psychosocial interventions that provide individually tailored education, counseling, skills training, and support over long periods of time would be most effective, given the duration of the illness and its emotional impact.
However, unlike causative genes, some people with the E4 genotype do live through the age of risk without developing AD. Moreover, over 45% of people with late onset AD do not carry the E4 genotype. Thus, the E4 genotype is neither necessary nor sufficient for development of AD. Still, inheriting one E4 gene increases risk for displaying AD approximately four times, and inheriting two E4 alleles increases risk roughly 16 times. Identifying such a significant increase in risk for AD may justify intervention in E4 carriers before they show signs of dementia.
