Neurologists Warn of Early Alzheimer's Onset

timesofindia.indiatimes.com · health

Neurologists are cautioning that sudden forgetfulness might signal early Alzheimer's, potentially affecting younger individuals. Factors like cardiac issues, increased awareness, and environmental triggers such as stress and pollution could contribute to this trend. While typically affecting those over 65, 5-10% of patients are diagnosed in their 40s and 50s, often with genetic predispositions. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing the disease, though a cure remains elusive.
