What is Alzheimer's Disease? |
| | | | |
Alzheimer's disease (AD)is the most common dementia, accounting for 60% of cases in the elderly. It afflicts 5% of the population over the age of 65, and as much as 45% of the population over 85. The earliest sign is typically an impairment of recent memory function and attention, followed by failure of language skills, visual-spatial orientation, abstract thinking, and judgement. Inevitably, alterations of personality accompany these defects. | | | |
