There are certain risk factors which are possibly related to the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease,
although there is no certainty that they cause it. You need to be aware of them and take early measures
to reduce the possibility of them helping to encourage the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Just remember
that the apparent absence of any such risk factor does not protect you from Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s Risk Factors:
Age: Alzheimer’s disease is common among the elderly, mostly in the 65-85 year range. Most Alzheimer’s
disease patients belong to this age group.
Because natural deterioration, due to old age, and Alzheimer's share many of the same symptoms, it can
be difficult to detect Alzheimer’s disease in elderly people, many of whom tend to forget, lose, or misplace
things. Alzheimer’s disease is possible but extremely rare in other age groups.
Genes: As with any other disease, hereditary factors pose a major risk for Alzheimer’s disease. If
Alzheimer's disease is common among your family members, you stand a high chance of contracting it at
some time. There are different specific genes in your body. One group is believed to help to prevent the
occurrence of Alzheimer's disease while another seems to accelerate its occurrence.
Mutations in genes, which could lead to dementia or other associated symptoms of Alzheimer's disease,
occur in specific age groups.
Environment: High concentrations of zinc, aluminum and other metals may harm brain tissue.
Such deposits in the brain can affect easy blood flow and damage nerves, leading to Alzheimer's disease.
Adequate proof of the risk element of such metals is available through brain autopsies of patients with
Alzheimer's disease.
Viruses: Scientists are also trying to establish links between certain viruses and Alzheimer's disease.
Dietary restrictions: You could reduce the risk of contracting Alzheimer’s disease by restricting your diet
and excluding foods containing high levels of fats and sugar. It is best to consume simple, balanced and
low-fat foods to keep your blood sugar levels normal. There are conflicting reports about the occurrence
of Alzheimer's disease due to the intake of certain vitamins and fatty acids.
Cardiovascular risks: If you have cardiovascular problems like heart disease, high blood pressure,
hypertension, diabetes, or you have had heart strokes, you stand a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's
disease at some stage in your life. However, one ray of hope is that you can try to prevent its occurrence
by changing your diet to include lots of fruits and vegetables, and lower your cholesterol levels.
And, don't forget that exercise also helps prevent vascular problems.
Alcohol: High and regular intakes of alcohol could damage your brain significantly and cause dementia,
leading to Alzheimer’s disease. Restricted alcohol intake is more beneficial to your health.
Exercise: Regular exercise keeps all body parts and systems healthy and active, which can prevent or
reduce the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
Stress: High stress levels react negatively on your health and cause various problems.
Specifically, increased stress pushes hot blood to the brain and other parts of the nervous system, which
often cause strokes and possibly Alzheimer's disease.
Hormones: Women have increased chances of acquiring Alzheimer's disease as their estrogen levels drop
during menopause causing hormonal imbalances.
Poverty and Education: Poverty is often the cause for lack of sufficient awareness about different diseases
including Alzheimer's disease. People who keep their minds active with continual learning, increase their
brain activity. This can help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Medications: Studies indicate a possible connection between certain medicines and Alzheimer’s disease,
although there is no conclusive proof. It could be due to the highly sedative effects of certain strong
medications, which might later lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease and is difficult to detect in the early stages.
Alzheimer’s sets in slowly, with minor signs and signals at first. It gradually displays more serious
symptoms until all aspects of the disease are manifest. The appearance of Alzheimer’s symptoms or signs
do not necessarily indicate a particular stage of the disease. You should have a thorough medical
examination of any changes in you that might provide clues of the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
The early signs of Alzheimer’s disease are only able to be recognized by doctors who are knowledgeable
about the disease.
You will only realize that you have it after clear symptoms begin to show.
POSSIBLE Indicators of Alzheimer’s Disease
Early Symptoms
• Absentmindedness
• Forgetting familiar names
• Unable to concentrate on anything
• Unable to recall events of a few hours ago
Developing Symptoms
• Puzzled feelings
• Loss of memory
• Forgetful of daily tasks like brushing teeth, washing hands or combing hair
• Unable to read or speak clearly and stammering
• Need to focus immensely to think about anything
• Unable to express yourself in ordinary conversation
• Difficulty in doing routine tasks involving muscular movements
• Confusion about normal routines leading to misplacing simple things
• Irritability
• Difficulty in proper vision or similar functions involving nerves of your body
• Unable to dress properly
• Cannot recollect date, day or time
• Disinterested in any previously enjoyed activities or interactions
• Difficulty in simple calculations like bill payments or groceries
• Unable to understand or grasp whatever is being read
Serious Symptoms
• Regular bouts of depression with indifference to everyone and everything
• Anxious feelings leading to uncertainty
• Aggressiveness leading to violence and physical abuse
• Bored and uninterested in doing anything
• Straying from familiar physical surroundings, and unable to remember your house, location, or where
any of your family members live.
• Arguing unnecessarily
• Marked changes in your personality
• Suspicious of everything and everybody
• Incontinence and unable to control body functions like bowel and bladder movements
• Unable to swallow edibles easily
• Total lack of any reasoning power
• Fully dependent on others for daily routine
• Some Alzheimer’s patients become bedridden, from being weak and vulnerable to associated diseases.
• Extremely uncooperative
These symptoms develop as damage to the brain disrupts its normal working and it becomes less able to
control vital body functions. The disease progresses gradually.
It is best to look into treatment options in early stages. This will help you control advancement of
Alzheimer’s disease while you are in a position to understand the implications of lack of treatment.
Otherwise, deterioration becomes faster. You cannot do much at later stages. It is very painful to watch
as your loved one’s condition continues to get worse.
Although the average time span of Alzheimer’s disease ranges between six to eight years, it can, in
reality, be anywhere from two to twenty years. The end is always in death, which could be also be
primarily due to other illnesses like heart diseases, pneumonia, or other old age problems.
Some patients die from such associated diseases before they reach the final stages of Alzheimer’s
disease.
