Alzheimer’s disease stands as the most prevalent form of dementia, recognized by the Alzheimer’s Society. While age remains its greatest known risk factor, Alzheimer’s is not a typical consequence of aging. Typically, it affects individuals aged 65 and older, with its occurrence in those younger than 65 termed as younger-onset Alzheimer’s.
This progressive disease gradually worsens over time with no known cure, yet its symptoms can be effectively managed through personalized Alzheimer’s care and support. A global effort is currently in progress to discover improved treatments for this condition.
