Diet and Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological ailment associated with cognitive impairment, difficulty in logical reasoning, and several other behavioral and psychological changes. The disorder is progressive in nature – what starts as mild forgetfulness and confusion in most Alzheimer's patients, culminates into the severe loss of memory and inability to perform the tasks of daily routine.

			Types of Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer’s begins as mild forgetfulness and confusion, and may eventually lead to complete memory loss, difficulty in making decisions, and even in performing daily routine tasks. These changes are accompanied by changes in personality and other symptoms such as depression, mood swings, social withdrawal, and aggression, among others.

	Pollution and Alzheimer's Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder causing dementia, abnormal brain functions, and complete dependence on others in the long run. It was named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a neurologist. Several categorizations are developed based on the parameters such as severity (mild, moderate, or severe), onset time (late-onset, or early-onset), and inflammatory response (inflammatory, non-inflammatory, or cortical).

	Study adds robust evidence to higher prevalence of Alzheimer's among women than men The APOE gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, may play a more prominent role in disease development among women than men, according to new research from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center.

	Study sheds light on the origin of most common and prevalent form of Alzheimer's disease After a decade of work, a team led by Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont researcher and Université de Montréal associate professor Dr. Gilbert Bernier has shed promising light on the origin of the most common and prevalent form of Alzheimer's disease, hoping to someday help mitigate or even reverse the progress of the disease.

	Alzheimer's Disease Epidemiology Alzheimer's disease is a neuropsychological ailment characterized by progressive degeneration of neurons, which results in dementia and mental impairment.

	Scientists uncover the role of the ApoE gene in Alzheimer's Disease A study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has identified why the ApoE4 gene increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and why the ApoE3 gene reduces the risk.
