Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. AD begins slowly. It first involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. People with AD may have trouble remembering things that happened recently or names of people they know. Over time, symptoms get worse. People may not recognize family members or have trouble speaking, reading or writing. They may forget how to brush their teeth or comb their hair. Later on, they may become anxious or aggressive, or wander away from home. Eventually, they need total care. This can cause great stress for family members who must care for them.

Dementia is a brain disorder that interferes with a person's ability to carry out everyday activities. The brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease (see Multimedia file 1) has abnormal areas containing clumps (senile plaques) and bundles (neurofibrillary tangles) of abnormal proteins. These clumps and tangles destroy connections between brain cells.

Alzheimer's Disease What is Alzheimer's Disease? In 1986, President Ronald Reagan's "I don't remember," "I don't recall" responses seemed to many to be lame answers to questions about political dealings. However, it turns out that they may have been the truth. In 1994, former President Ronald Reagan announced that he had Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ronald Reagan Alzheimer's disease attacks the brain; it is not a normal part of aging. People with AD have a gradual memory loss and difficulties with language and emotions. The progressive loss of intellectual abilities is termed dementia . As the disease advances, the person may need help in all aspects of life: bathing, eating, and using the restroom. Because of this round-the-clock care, families and friends of people with AD are greatly affected. The disease is irreversible and there is currently no cure. Who Gets AD? About 5-6% of the US population has AD or a related dementia. This means that approximately four million Americans have AD. As the population ages, the burden to caregivers and cost to society will grow. It is estimated that by 2050, 14 million people in the US will suffer from AD. Alzheimer's disease ranks fourth in the cause of death among adults. About 100,000 people die per year as a result of AD. Five to 10 percent of the population over age 65 have AD. At the age of 85 and older, about 50% have AD. Although age is a factor, research has shown that genetics also play a role. Because women tend to live longer than men, more women are affected by AD than men. Furthermore, 80% of caregivers are women, so they are also secondarily affected by the disease.

We may even have trouble searching our brains for the right word to use in a sentence or for that new coworker's name. For most of us, this is just a nuisance and is usually caused by fatigue or stress. However, for some people this type of memory loss may be an indicator of something more serious. Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people around the world and causes severe loss of memory, communication, and other brain functions. For those suffering from Alzheimer's, day-to-day life can become an extremely difficult challenge. Although the disease mainly affects those over 65, it is important to learn about Alzheimer's symptoms so that you can take preventative measures now. netseer_tag_id = "1092"; netseer_ad_width = "667"; netseer_ad_height = "90"; netseer_task = "ad";

Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAÑOL Alzheimer's disease Dementia is a loss of brain function that occurs with certain diseases. Alzheimer's disease (AD), is one form of dementia that gradually gets worse over time. It affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Memory impairment, as well as problems with language, decision-making ability, judgment, and personality, are necessary features for the diagnosis. Causes Age and family history are risk factors for AD. As you get older, your risk of developing AD goes up. However, developing Alzheimer's disease is not a part of normal aging. Having a close blood relative, such as a brother, sister, or parent who developed AD increases your risk. Having certain combination of genes for proteins that appear to be abnormal in Alzheimer's disease also increases your risk. Other risk factors that are not as well proven include: Longstanding high blood pressure History of head trauma Female gender There are two types of AD early onset and late onset.
