STOMACH ULCERS PROGNOSIS

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. It is an irreversible, slowly progressive condition in which the person's personality and abilities diminish until they no longer recognise those things that were once familiar to them. People with Alzheimer's eventually require total care.

Alzheimer's disease affects more than 11 million people worldwide and the incidence is increasing. It is commonest in the over 65-year age group but it can also present at a younger age, usually in individuals with a genetic predisposition to developing the disease.
