Abstract

In this study, we try to explore the concept of “Alzheimer's Disease” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on Alzheimer's disease and its relation with its right path to find its cure. The research also analyzes many aspects of Alzheimer's disease and tries to gauge its effect on its cure. Finally, the research describes various factors which are responsible for this disease and tries to describe the overall effect of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease: Are in the Right Path to Find its Cure

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder, in which alterations occur early in declarative memory, in the spatial and temporal location. In the late stages, it presents a severe dementia accompanied by motor impairment. Alzheimer's disease primarily affects the olfactory neurons. Two other indicators early Alzheimer's disease, one of which may appear 10 to 20 years before the onset of the disease obvious, is an early decline in the capacity of the memory, the second in the APOE e4 (a genetic marker) and therefore present at birth. When both are present in a person, the possibility of developing Alzheimer's is greater (Hofman, Breteler, et al., 151-154).

Alzheimer's disease affects one in 25 individuals in older adults ± 65 years, increasing to 4 around 80 years, which represents a global figure of over 20 million people with this disease and given the progressive aging of the population, these figures are estimated to reach 40 million by 2040. That is why the EA, for its high incidence population acquires significant importance because of the implications that may affect the social, political and economic, to which is added a strong psychological impact on the families of those suffering (Gould, 109-113). The traditional symptoms of dementia / AD, such as memory loss, forgetfulness, understand that you have driven away from where you were going, etc, are also common in those who do not have Alzheimer's / dementia (Cantley, 112-115).

Discussion

Although there is no cure for this disease there are measures that can be taken to prevent it from occurring in one's life. By exercising daily, eating a brain-healthy diet, stimulating you mind, sleeping regularly, staying relaxed, and protecting your brain, you could potentially take away your chances of acquiring Alzheimer's disease. Thing that we do in everyday life, that we can control, can trigger stimuli in the brain and eventually bring the disease to the surface. People who are obese, have chronic stress, diabetes, hypertension, which smoke, drink alcohol, or have heart disease have to make the decision to take care of their bodies correctly in order to diminish the possibility of being diagnosed with AD.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease that has fatal outcomes. Many people who care for AD patients have to dedicate their lives to the care. People who have this disease can live their life as long as expected, but it usually is a burden on the family ...
