Dear Barb,

Can you
explain:
What is
Alzheimers
Disease,
Risk Factors for
ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE,
and its Relationship to DEMENTIA?

– Joan

Dear Joan,

Alzheimer's disease is the most common
cause of dementia in people aged 60 and
older. Alzheimer's is a primary degenerative
dementia that increases with age. It involves
plaque and vascular problems within the
brain. It can make speaking and writing a
challenge. Also some compulsive behaviors
need monitoring.
Alzheimer's disease affects not only
individuals but their families. It is not a
normal part of aging. This disease involves
learning problems, loss of memory,
irritability, changes of personality, anxiety,
and disorientation. It is a disease of
dependency on others due to concentration
problems and communication difficulties.
• It affects cholesterol levels
• A good point is the more brain that is
used, the more space between Synapses,
therefore the higher the level of education
and the lower the risk
It has a 20-year span and can cause mood
swings, immobility, malnutrition, culinary
problems, and infections.
