   Usually after age 60.

   But……. There is another type. Check out the website below – it could start as early as 30.

   "Familial"Alzheimer disease is an uncommon form of Alzheimer’s that comes on earlier in life (usually between 30 and 60 years) and is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. There are a number of types of familial (or early-onset) AD, which are identified by their genetics and other characteristics such as the age of onset. As a whole, this form of the disease only accounts for roughly 10% to 15% of all cases of AD. histology, familial AD is practically indistinguishable from other forms of the disease.

   There is no youngest age. You can get it at any age.
