What is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is a fatal, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, often starting 5, 10 or even 20 years before symptoms appear. It is also the most common form of dementia. It is the only top 10 cause of death that has no cure, no means of prevention, and no disease-modifying treatments.
Alzheimer’s symptoms appear gradually and get worse over time. Symptoms usually start with difficulty remembering new information. In advanced stages, symptoms include confusion, mood and behavior changes, inability to care for one's self and perform basic life tasks. Individuals with Alzheimer's and related dementias live for anywhere between 2 and 20 years after diagnosis, and on average for 8-10 years.
Alzheimer’s is not “normal aging” and it is not just a disease of old age. Most people develop ALzheimer's when they are over age 65. When Alzheimer's symptoms develop before age 65, it is referred to as early-onset Alzheimer's. About 5% of those with Alzheimer's have early-onset. Hundreds of thousands of Americans show symptoms in their 40s and 50s – some even in their 30s.
The most recent research shows that 700,000 deaths in the U.S. each year are attributable to Alzheimer's and dementia, making it the third leading cause of death, following cancer and heart disease.
Alzhemer's is also the most feared disease in the United States.
Scientists have not determined the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease. There is no cure. But recent advances in research have provided treatments that can temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms and improve quality of life for some people. Important clinical trials are now underway focused on potential prevention and treatment for Alzheimer's.
Other forms of dementia include Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia and Frontotemporal Lobe Dementia.
Vascular dementia, the second most common form of dementia, results from injuries to the vessels supplying blood to the brain, often after a stroke or series of strokes. The symptoms of vascular dementia can be similar to those of Alzheimer’s, and both conditions can occur at the same time. Symptoms of vascular dementia can begin suddenly and worsen or improve during one’s lifetime.
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is another common brain disorder in older people. LBD is caused by abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. These deposits, called Lewy bodies, can lead to problems with thinking, movement, behavior and mood. For example, symptoms may include changes in alertness and attention, hallucinations, tremor, muscle stiffness, sleep problems and memory loss.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a rare disorder that affects the front (frontal lobes) and the sides (temporal lobes) of the brain. Because these regions often, but not always, shrink, brain imaging can be useful in diagnosis. There is no specific abnormality associated with all cases of FTD. In one type called Pick's disease, there are abnormal microscopic deposits called Pick bodies, but these are not always present.
