Alzheimer’s disease and its Prevention: Epidemiology

Alzheimer’s disease which is a form of dementia has
been one of the deadly disease since 2001. There is
no cure and no effective treatment. Alzheimer’s disease
presents policy-makers with many challenges, including,
the cost pressures on long-term medical care worldwide.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease of the human
brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a
disturbance in at least one other thinking function. When
we hear about Alzheimer’s disease we automatically think
of older people. This is because this disease most often
occurs in adults after the age of 65. Statistics show that one
in eight individuals will have Alzheimer’s after they reach
age 65. The purpose of this study is to create awareness of
Alzheimer’s and how it can be prevented through research
that has been made that plenty of omega-3 fats which
Evidence suggests that the DHA found in these healthy
fats may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
by reducing beta-amyloid plaques and such omega-3 fats
can be found mostly in sea food such as salmon, tuna etc.
Methodological and theoretical orientation: Alzheimer’s
disease has always been diagnosed by immunochemical
assay directly or indirectly detecting the presence or
absence of an apolipoprotein E type 4 (ApoE4) isoform or
DNA encoding ApoE4 in the subject. Findings: Initial studies
indicated that repetition priming was immune to the effects
of aging and greatly reduced in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As
more studies have been performed, however, these initial
conclusions appear less clear than before and, in the case of
AD, actually misleading. Conclusion: Due to my vivid research
since AD cannot be cured or treated but rather prevented
awareness should be created and people should encouraged
to take more omega- 3 fats since that may prevent AD.
