Alzheimer’s Disease
What is
Alzheimer’s Disease ?
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in elderly individuals. It progressively affects memory, thinking, and behavior, often leading to severe memory loss, speech impairment, and complete physical dependence on caregivers. In its late stages, individuals may lose the ability to walk or eat unaided. The condition is associated with the formation of β-amyloid plaques in the brain, which lead to the death of neural cells. Despite extensive research, the exact causes of Alzheimer’s disease remain unclear, making it a critical area of scientific interest.
Symptoms of
Alzheimer’s Disease
Identifying early Alzheimer’s disease signs is key to managing the condition and improving quality of life. Alzheimer’s disease symptoms typically develop gradually and worsen over time. Common signs of Alzheimer’s disease include:
- Confusion with time or place
- Changes in mood or personality
- Memory loss disrupting daily life
- Trouble completing familiar tasks
- Poor judgment or decision-making
- Difficulty solving problems or making decisions
Types of
Alzheimer’s Disease
- Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease
Occurring in individuals younger than 65, this rare form is often linked to genetic factors.
- Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease
The most common form, typically affecting people aged 65 and older.
What Causes
Alzheimer’s Disease ?
What Alzheimer’s Disease is caused by is not fully understood. However, contributing factors include:

- Inflammation and vascular changes
- Lifestyle and environmental factors
- Genetic predisposition
