According to :

Russian neurologist Lydia Gozeva :

"old age dementia" disease Or what's known as Alzheimer's is a disease caused

by a brain disorder that worsens over time. And it mainly affects older adults

in the early stages of which a person may not clearly show symptoms of

the disease.

• But it gradually begins with the loss of its ability to recall new information

• and later speech disabilities occur. The situation may be exacerbated

• by complete memory loss and inability to read and write

and these symptoms may also be accompanied by eyesight problems.

The doctor noted that :

statistics indicate that 5% of people aged 56 to 74 years suffer from the disease.

and this proportion increases from 13 to 33% for age groups 75 to 84 years

• The main causes of the disease are still unknown. 

• But they may be associated with genetic factors

• brain injuries, nerves or some vascular disease.

The doctor pointed out that :

there are currently no treatments that can restore a person to health

status before contracting the disease, but some drugs prescribed to

• patients help them to exercise an active daily life

• as well as customs and measures that prevent

• the aggravation of the disease, including:
