Has there been any research on Alz caused by Agent Orange exposure during the Vietnam War?

There is one study indicating that the combination of Agent Orange exposure and post-traumatic stress disorder increases the risk for Alzheimer's disease.

This may also be true of Agent Orange and other risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.

My spouse was in Vietnam and heavily exposed to agent orange. He was diagnosed with AD three years ago and now has been diagnosed with neuropathy. No family member has or had this disease. I think there should be further studies.
