“World Progress Report” Provides Interstitial Programming on Identifying Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s Disease is a unfortunate and potentially deadly affliction, usually occurring late in life… here are some of the signs.While everyone hopes to enjoy their “twilight” years with retirement and relaxation, the potentially deadly disease, Alzheimer’s, needs to remain in the minds of all people, especially those who are elderly and at high risk. While the disease is a progressive degeneration of the brain’s activity, there are very early signs that, when recognized, can help provide better options for treatment at the onset.
Alzheimer’s can occur in almost anyone, but is most common in those who have passed the age of fifty five. As a person continues to age, they also become higher risk. Obviously, memory loss is the most apparent side effect of the disease, so if you or a loved one is having a hard time remembering day-to-day routines or specific events, sometimes that can be a sign of Alzheimer’s. Being unable to compute or problem solve is another common theme, such as the inability to balance a checkbook or do a crossword puzzle.
While those tangible things are important to look out for, changes in attitude or personality may also be caused by Alzheimer’s. If someone is showing increasingly poor judgment every day, or if someone has had a marked change in speaking timbre or speed, it could potentially also be attributed to the condition.
Americans need to not only watch out for these warning signs, but continue to visit the doctor on a regular basis to make sure their comprehension levels are where they should be. “World Progress Report” hopes to show new innovations in the medical field that will combat the disease, while also showing potential options for those afflicted.
