What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that gradually erodes memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. It is the most common form of dementia, affecting millions worldwide, primarily those aged 65 and older.

Key stages of Alzheimer’s include:
Early Stage: Difficulty recalling recent events, subtle confusion, and mild forgetfulness.
Middle Stage: Increased memory loss, trouble recognizing loved ones, and changes in personality or behaviour.
Late Stage: Severe cognitive decline requiring full-time care and support.
Symptoms of Alzheimer’s
Early detection is critical in slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s. Symptoms may include:
- Repeatedly forgetting conversations or appointments.
- Difficulty performing familiar tasks.
- Challenges in planning, organizing, or making decisions.
- Confusion about time, place, or events.
- Withdrawal from social activities or hobbies.
Causes and Risk Factors
While the exact cause of Alzheimer’s is not fully understood, several factors contribute to its development:
- Brain Changes: Build-up of plaques (amyloid) and tangles (tau proteins) disrupt brain cell function.
- Genetics: Family history of Alzheimer’s increases risk.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, and inactivity.
- Chronic Conditions: Hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
