Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease was first identified more than 100 years ago, but 70 years passed before it was recognized as the most common cause of dementia and treated as killing instrument. Alzheimer's disease generally emerges in old age beyond 65 years and mostly in 85 years symbolising deterioration of cognitive functions such as remembering, reasoning, and planning and the like. Many scientists believe that Alzheimer's disease results from an increase in the production or accumulation of a specific protein (beta-amyloid protein) in the brain that leads to death of nerve cells. It slowly destroys reminiscence and thoughtful skills, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It progresses in triple stages an early, preclinical stage with no symptoms, a middle stage of mild cognitive impairment, and a final stage of Alzheimer’s dementia. It commences little by little and gets worse gradually and at present, no cure for this dreadful ailment. Genetics / Familial Alzheimer’s disease is a type of Alzheimer’s which is very uncommon and 1 % may crop up. Alzheimer's disease is considered a major public health problem.
