Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects about 6% of the world’s population. AD presents itself in a wide range of symptoms which fall under three main categories- cognitive dysfunction, executive dysfunction, and deterioration of everyday life. AD is the most common form of dementia and accounts for about 70% of all dementia cases worldwide. There is an estimated 35 million people living with AD, and as the population collectively ages an increase in the number of diagnoses is expected to rise accordingly.
