Current Advances in Alzheimer's disease Research

More about the book

Alzheimer's disease leads to brain atrophy and cell death, resulting in a decline in cognitive, behavioral, and social skills, ultimately affecting independence. While there is no cure or treatment to halt its progression, various programs and services can assist individuals with Alzheimer's and their caregivers in maximizing function and maintaining independence for as long as possible. In advanced stages, severe brain function loss can lead to complications like dehydration or infection, which may result in death.
