Abstract
A great deal of research has focused on aluminium as a putative causat ive factor in Alzheimer's disease. We measured by atomic absorption sp ectrophotometry aluminium levels in blood, urine and cerebrospinal flu id from 15 patients with Alzheimer's disease, compared with 20 control individuals. There were no statistically significant differences betw een the two groups. This suggests that aluminium is not a causative fa ctor for Alzheimer's disease.
