What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a neurological brain disorder named after a German physician, Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906. It is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and behavior, eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks.
Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and those with Alzheimer’s live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others. Survival can range from 4 to 20 years, depending on age and other health conditions. The greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. But Alzheimer’s is not a “normal part” of aging, it is not just a disease of old age. Approximately 200,000 Americans under the age of 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease (also known as early-onset Alzheimer’s).
Alzheimer’s has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. That’s where you and I come in.
