Definition
Alzheimer, a degenerative disease, is not part of the normal aging process. The more the population ages, the greater will be the number of people affected by Alzheimer disease.
Alzheimer disease is characterized by the death of neurons (cells that play a key role in brain functioning), which accelerates as the disease worsens, possibly leading to the loss of certain functions or abilities (memory, reasoning, language, judgment, etc.).
