It's interesting, they used to think that having a big vocabulary or knowing multiple languages delayed having Alzheimer's. It turns out that family often first become aware that a person is developing Alzheimer's because the person starts regularly forgetting common words, but people with big vocabularies can come up with alternatives when they can't remember one, so their family doesn't recognize it as early. When those people are diagnosed, they end up being further along.
