Alzheimer's

Alzheimer disease is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain that eventually leads to dementia.  People with Alzheimer’s disease suffer degeneration of the cortical regions, especially the frontal and temporal lobes, of the brain.  This make’s it difficult for the brain’s signals to be transmitted properly.  An estimated 4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

Common symptoms of Alzheimer’s can include disorientation and confusion, impaired memory and thinking, trouble performing familiar tasks, changes in personality and behavior, problems with language and communication, impaired visual and spatial skills, poor or decreased judgment, loss of motivation or initiative, and loss of normal sleep patterns.

The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not understood, but it is most likely caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors.  The risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease increases with age.  Roughly 10% of people over the age of 65, and 50% of people over 85 suffer from Alzheimer’s.  A clear, inherited pattern of Alzheimer’s disease is found in nearly 10% of all cases.  Since the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease is not known, there is nothing currently that can be done to prevent it.
