Definition
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain condition characterized by a gradual decline in memory, thinking, learning, and organizational skills. It is the most common cause of dementia, impacting daily life and basic activities as it progresses. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease typically worsen over time, often starting years before noticeable symptoms appear.
Types
Early-Onset Alzheimer’s
Occurs in individuals under 65, typically in their 40s or 50s. It is rare, accounting for less than 10% of cases.
Late-Onset Alzheimer’s
Most common, affecting individuals over the age of 65. The risk increases with age.
Symptoms
Mild Stage
- Forgetting newly learned information, recent events, and names.
- Difficulty finding the right words, losing objects, and organizing tasks.
- Challenges in problem-solving and completing routine tasks.
Moderate Stage
- Forgetting newly learned information, recent events, and names.
- Difficulty finding the right words, losing objects, and organizing tasks.
- Challenges in problem-solving and completing routine tasks.
Severe Stage
- Nearly total memory loss and lack of awareness of surroundings.
- Need for extensive help with daily activities like eating and walking.
- Loss of communication abilities, limited to a few words or phrases.
- Vulnerability to infections, with potential need for hospice care.
Causes
- Protein Build-Up: Alzheimer’s disease is caused by abnormal accumulation of amyloid plaques (are clumps of misfolded proteins that form in the spaces between nerve cells in the brain, mainly in the grey matter) and tau tangles (are abnormal accumulations of a protein called tau that collect inside neurons) in the brain. These disrupt communication between nerve cells, leading to cell death.
- Genetic Factors: The presence of the APOE ε4 gene variant increases the risk, though it does not guarantee development of the disease. Genetic predisposition combined with environmental and lifestyle factors contributes to the risk.
Tips
- If you or someone you know exhibits memory loss or cognitive difficulties, consult a healthcare provider early. This allows for early intervention, access to treatments, and planning for the future.
- Engage in mental exercises such as puzzles, reading, or learning new skills to support cognitive health.
- Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle, A balanced diet, regular physical exercise, and sufficient sleep are crucial for overall brain health.
- Supportive Environment, Adapt home settings to ensure safety and ease, such as using labels and simplifying routines.
- Keep up social interactions and participate in community activities to support mental and emotional well-being.
- Address any treatable conditions that may mimic dementia symptoms, such as depression or vitamin deficiencies.
- Explore support groups, counseling, and educational resources to navigate the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and caregiving.
