.Have you asked your self what is normally wrong with them?

Many a times we find ourselves forgetting about simple thing like where we left our car care , what we were to get from the house or we were suppose to call somebody but we did not tthhis is a normal memory loss that occurs in allf us as human beings .But there are onditions in which one totally loses memory and is not capable of thinking about even the recent things that has just happened , this normally happens to the older people with the age above sixties, They are forgetting about even the most recent things that has juust happened .Have you asked your self what is normally wrong with them?

The abnormal memory loss that occurs at this age above sixty is as a result of Alzheimers’s disease , this is an irrevisible , progressive brain disorder that reduces the functionality oof the brain and destroyes the memory of an individual and the thinking capabilities making them not to be able too carry out simple tasks , it normally occurs in people at the age of thirty to sixty , and at this stage it is kown as Early onset , but I other people it occurs at ages above 60 and at this point it is known as the late onset type.

Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the shrinking of parts of the brain therefore affecting the structure and the functionality of a given area of the brain , the exact cause of this disease is not known but research also shows that in the affected brain area there is a deposition of protains and imbalance oof a chemical called acetylchloline

What makes one to be affected with this disease ?, Many factors are known to results in one getting affected with this disease and these includes

Age

The likelihood of developing the condition doubles every five years after you reach 65 years of age.

However, it’s not just older people who are at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Around 1 in 20 people with the condition are under 65. This is called early onset Alzheimer’s disease and it can affect people from around the age of 40.

Family history

The genes you inherit from your parents can contribute to your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, although the actual increase in risk is small if you have a close family member with the condition.

However, in a few families, Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the inheritance of a single gene, and the risks of the condition being passed on are much higher.

Down’s syndrome

People with Down’s syndrome are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

This is because the genetic fault that causes Down’s syndrome can also cause amyloid plaques to build up in the brain over time, which can lead to Alzheimer’s disease in some people.

Head injuries

People who have had a severe head injury have been found to be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Cardiovascular disease

Research shows that several lifestyle factors and conditions associated with cardiovascular disease can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Smoking,Obesity,diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol

Having looked the causes of this disease we are therefore going to looked at what are the signs and symptoms of the disease , how do we know that one is suffering from this condition .
