PERSONAL INTEREST IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

My support of Alzheimer’s research and education is based on the understanding that like all chronic diseases, people with Alzheimer’s disease need to become knowledgeable about its cause, warning signs, treatment, and management.  The alarming prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in the population makes education, management, and research a high priority. Current research has indicated that there’s a link between dementia and vascular diseases. Seemingly, more community education and outreach must be provided to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates associated with Alzheimer’s defense and other related dementias.
