Alzheimer\u2019s is a progressive disease that causes individuals to lose mental, and later, cognitive functions. While television shows such as Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/em>have made the disease better known to the public, there is still a lot about Alzheimer\u2019s that most people do not know. Whether you have a loved one who is suffering from the disease or simply want to understand the major condition, here is what you need to know about Alzheimer\u2019s:<\/p>\n

It Is The Most Common Form Of Dementia: <\/strong>There are several diseases that fall into the dementia family including mixed dementia, Huntington\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s. However, Alzheimer\u2019s is considered to be the most common form of dementia.<\/p>\n

Women Are At Risk: <\/strong>Studies show that women are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer\u2019s Disease (AD) than their male counterparts.<\/p>\n

There Are Health Factors: <\/strong>Individuals who have diseases like diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol are at a higher risk of developing AD.<\/p>\n

Learning Is Protective: <\/strong>Studies show that individuals who continue to learn later in life such as by taking classes or learning a new language are at lower risk for Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s Kills: <\/strong>According to the CDC, Alzheimer\u2019s is the 6th<\/sup> most common cause of death in the US. Because individuals with Alzheimer\u2019s loose memory and cognitive function, they are likely to miss important medications and put themselves in unnecessary danger. This is why in-home care is recommended for many Alzheimer\u2019s patients<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anosmia Linked: <\/strong>Anosmia is the loss of sense of smell and is said to be linked to early Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

No Age Minimum:<\/strong> While Alzheimer\u2019s typically affects the elderly, it can begin in young adults and middle age individuals as well.<\/p>\n

Broad Effects: <\/strong>Alzheimer\u2019s is difficult for the affected individual and their family. Many experts recommend that families of individuals who suffer from Alzheimer\u2019s seek counseling.<\/p>\n

While Alzheimer\u2019s is a formidable and difficult disease, research is ongoing so there is still hope for a cure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
