As per World Health Organization, “50 million people globally have dementia, and out of all the dementia cases, Alzheimer's Disease accounts for about 60–70% of cases”.
Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease, a common cause of dementia that affects behavior, memory, and thinking abilities of an individual. Mostly the symptoms appear in the 60’s but in rare cases early onset during the late 40’s has also been observed.
The cause of Alzheimer’s varies from person to person. Largely Alzheimer’s is of sporadic origin. The genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors are considered to be important factors contributing to the development of AD. Apart from these some other factors such as Vascular Diseases, Depression, Brain Injury, Type 2 diabetes, epilepsy, poor diet, social isolation also induce the risk of Alzheimer’s. However, the exact cause of the disease still remains in the dark.
