More than 55 million people worldwide suffer from dementia with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form of dementia accounting for 60% to 70% of dementia cases. Alzheimer’s disease means you have a progressive condition that causes brain cells to degenerate and die. This leads to a continued decline in memory thinking and the ability to perform tasks. Unfortunately as the disease progresses completing daily activities or communicating becomes difficult.
Several factors can increase your risk of dementia (particularly Alzheimer’s) some of which are completely beyond your control. Aging is the biggest factor with people over 65 at greater risk. Genetics also play a crucial role with certain genetic mutations directly linked to the disease.
