Alzheimer's Disease Takes Away Our Loved Ones Before They Are Gone

I am working at home care and some of my clients have Alzheimer 's disease. I noticed that all patients are different regardless of age. Two of the same age may be in different stages of the disease. Scientists are not sure why disease progresses faster than others than others, but cause it to the number of risk factors a person may have. Risk factors for this disease are family history, severe head trauma, alcoholism, hypertension, heart disease, and high cholesterol.

Until my mother was diagnosed, I did not know much about Alzheimer's disease. I am joining millions of people now being exposed to the cruel reality of Alzheimer's disease, and the love you see disappears everyday. I hope to provide navigation information to those affected by this disease and connect them with experts who have some answers.

Alzheimer's disease is widely recognized as one of the most difficult diseases that may face with age. We are learning more about how day-to-day decisions enhance the risk of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Malnutrition, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, smoking all increase the risk of dementia. Prevention is slow, but certainly before treatment, we must understand how our lifestyle affects our dangers of diseases like Alzheimer's disease

The most common form of Alzheimer's disease is called sporadic Alzheimer's disease. Sporadic Alzheimer's disease is due to a complex combination of our genes, environment and lifestyle. The greatest risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease is aging. In most cases, it develops at age 60 to 65. There are some arguments that females are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than men. International evidence does not consistently prove this. Further studies are needed to determine if factors other than age increase the risk of women suffering from Alzheimer's disease

Familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) or early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (EOFAD) is an unusual Alzheimer's disease that usually develops in young age and is defined as before 65 years old (usually 50 to 50 years old) 65 years old Or more) and autosomal dominant and genetically identified and is determined by genetics and other characteristics (age of onset, etc.). It accounts for about half of premature Alzheimer's disease. For familial AD, at least one primary relatives need a patient with a history of AD. A case of non familial AD is called "sporadic" AD, and it is unknown whether the genetic risk factor is small
