This year, September is dedicated to raising awareness, challenging stigma, and supporting those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
Did you know?
• Alzheimer’s accounts for 60–70% of dementia cases worldwide
• It affects thinking, behavior, communication, and the ability to carry out daily activities
• Symptoms worsen over time, with average life expectancy after diagnosis being 8–10 years
• Age is the biggest risk factor, but genetics, lifestyle, and heart health also play a role
• Treatments can help manage symptoms, but researchers are working on new therapies and early detection methods
• Regular exercise, a healthy diet, mental stimulation, and social activity may help lower the risk
