Chris Hemsworth reveals in his new show "Limitless" that he is 8 to 10 times more likely to get Alzheimer's than the average individual, due to copies of APOE4 from both his parents.
In a conversation with longevity physician Dr. Peter Attia, the actor learns he is 8 to 10 times more likely than the average individual to develop Alzheimer's disease. Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Follow Caroline Thayer on Twitter at @carolinejthayer.
"We've got every blood test one can get," Attia tells Hemsworth in the show. "And you've got two copies of APOE4. A set from your mom and a set from your dad."
APOE4 is the gene that has the strongest correlation to the development of Alzheimer's disease, however, not much is known about it.
