The Rise of Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease has emerged as a significant health crisis, now standing as the third leading cause of death in the United States and the number one cause of death among women in the UK. Previously viewed primarily as a condition affecting the elderly, Alzheimer’s is increasingly being diagnosed in individuals in their 40s and 50s, underscoring a disturbing trend in cognitive decline occurring much earlier in life. As such, there’s a critical need for public awareness and proactive measures to address this growing issue, especially considering that many symptoms begin long before a formal diagnosis. The emerging understanding of Alzheimer’s disease emphasizes the importance of early screening and intervention to mitigate the risk of full-blown dementia.
