Description
Nearly 11% of adults over age 65 have Alzheimer’s, and the prevalence increases to 33% in adults over age 85. Join the Alzheimer’s Association for a review of the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as Alzheimer’s stages, risk factors, research, and FDA-approved treatments. Mild cognitive impairment, normal age-related changes, and cognitive changes that may be reversible are also discussed. Knowledge is power for proactive management of dementias.

He holds a BBA from University of Texas and joined the Alzheimer’s Association when he transitioned into the non-profit sector at the end of his career in sales. Like most people at the Association, his first encounter with the disease was when it affected a family member.
