 Home > Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's DiseaseAlzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, affecting at least three to four million people in the United States. Alzheimer's is defined as memory loss with at least one other area of cognitive impairment (e.g., language, attention, orientation, self-monitoring, judgment, motor skill, inability to perform daily activities). Memory loss typically begins at about age 65 and slowly progresses to severe impairment over 8 to 10 years, but it may present sooner and advance at a different rate. Language deficits are prominent, including word finding (especially nouns), comprehension, repetition, and fluency. Social graces, which may remain surprisingly intact for years, eventually deteriorate to a loss of inhibition with periods of aggression or withdrawal. Personality and behavioral changes as well as problems in judgment occur with increasing severity. Risk Factors for Alzheimer's Disease:
Older age
Physical Inactivity
Excessive Aluminum and mercury in the system
Family history of the condition
Possibly head trauma or other incidents causing disturbance to the head
Presence of Alzheimer's gene
