Alzheimer's Disease: Just The Facts
Alzheimer's disease attacks the brain and causes
problems with memory, thinking and behavior.
Most people diagnosed with Alzheimer's are over age 65,
but it can occur in people in their 40s and 50s.
Symptoms include gradual memory loss, decreased ability
to perform routine tasks, disorientation, problems with
language skills, poor judgment and personality changes.
The time from the beginning of symptoms until death
ranges from 3 to 20 years; the average is 8 years.
There is no single test to identify Alzheimer's disease.
A complete medical evaluation for diagnosis is
essential.
A thorough evaluation will provide a correct diagnosis
of possible or probable Alzheimer's 90-percent of the
time.
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease at present.
There are FDA-approved drug treatments, designed
specifically for memory symptoms occurring in mild to
moderate stages of Alzheimer's disease.
The causes of Alzheimer's disease are not known.
Suspected causes include genes and environmental
exposure. |
