It seems so for diet with the statement:
Our findings in this well-characterised Australian cohort indicate that adherence to a healthy diet is important to reduce risk for cognitive decline
Also for exercise, with the statement:
Lower plasma Aβ(1-42/1-40) and brain amyloid was observed in those reporting higher levels of physical activity, consistent with the hypothesis that physical activity may be involved in the modulation of pathogenic changes associated with AD.
There also appears to be a link between anxiety and AD, however I haven't found one specifically mentioning stress. This article states:
findings suggest that interventions to mitigate anxiety symptoms may help delay memory decline in otherwise healthy older adults with elevated beta-amyloid.
However I found no papers directly relating to sleep, only this NHS post disputing the daily mail's claim that there was such a link. The NHS article says:
A new US study did find a link between poor sleep quality and higher levels of clumps of abnormal proteins in the brain (known as beta-amyloid plaques), but no cause and effect relationship between sleep quality and Alzheimer’s disease was proven.
