Differences in socioeconomic status, health care, education, events occurring before birth (prenatally) or right around birth (perinatally), and life history may all influence a person's eventual risk of AD. Even the ways in which diagnostic tests that measure language, memory, and cognitive function are constructed and applied may cause people to be diagnosed with AD if their level of education or cultural assimilation makes them score lower on the test than do people with a higher level of education who are more culturally assimilated.
