late-onset Alzheimer’s disease

Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that typically affects individuals aged 65 and older. It causes memory loss, difficulty with thinking and problem-solving, and changes in behavior. As the disease develops, it damages and kills brain cells, impairing communication between them. This leads to cognitive decline and affects daily functioning. The exact cause isn't fully known, but genetics, age, and lifestyle factors play a role. While there is no cure, early diagnosis can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. It is the most common form of Alzheimer’s, accounting for the majority of cases in older adults.
