According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. Most people with the disease are diagnosed after age 65. If you’re diagnosed with it before then, it’s generally referred to as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease
Everyone has episodes of forgetfulness from time to time. But people with Alzheimer’s disease display certain ongoing behaviors and symptoms, which worsen over time. These can include:
• memory loss affecting your daily activities, such as your ability to keep appointments
• trouble with familiar tasks, such as using a microwave
• difficulties with problem solving
• difficulties with speech or writing
• disorientation to time or place
• decreased judgment
• decreased personal hygiene
• mood and personality changes
• withdrawal from friends, family, and community
Causes and risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease
Experts haven’t determined a single cause of Alzheimer’s disease, but they have identified certain risk factors. For example, these risk factors affect your chances of developing it:
• Age: Most people who develop Alzheimer’s disease are 65 years of age or older.
• Family history: If you have an immediate family member who has developed the condition, you’re more likely to get it too.
• Genetics: Certain genes have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease
Having one or more of these risk factors doesn’t mean that you’ll develop Alzheimer’s disease. Both genetic and environmental factors likely play a role. Talk to your doctor to learn more about your risk of developing the condition.
Treating Alzheimer’s disease
There’s no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease. But your doctor can recommend medications and behavior modifications to help ease your symptoms and delay the progression of the disease as long as possible. Talk to your doctor to learn what treatment options are best for you. Each patient is different.
Lifestyle changes may also help you manage your condition. For example, your doctor might help you and your loved ones develop strategies to help you:
• focus on tasks
• limit confusion
• avoid confrontation
• get enough rest every day
• stay calm
