The central 'risk factor' for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is age. From first principles, we construct a mathematical model of protein folding and its in vivo regulation that gives this result in a natural manner. We extend the basic approach using topological information theory methods, and examine a case history of socially-induced premature aging in the United States.
