Alzheimer se siekte is 'n progressiewe neurologiese afwyking wat veroorsaak dat breinselle degenereer en sterf, wat lei tot 'n afname in geheue, denke en redeneervaardighede.
Dit is die algemeenste oorsaak van demensie, wat 60-80% van alle gevalle uitmaak.
Die siekte is uiteindelik dodelik, met die gemiddelde lewensverwagting na diagnose van 4-8 jaar, hoewel sommige mense tot 20 jaar met die siekte kan leef.
Die sterftesyfer vir Alzheimer se siekte wissel afhangende van die studie en die bevolking wat ondersoek word.
Volgens die Alzheimer's Association is Alzheimer se siekte die sesde grootste doodsoorsaak in die Verenigde State, en dit is die vyfde grootste doodsoorsaak vir diegene wat 65 jaar en ouer is.
In 2019 is Alzheimer se siekte gerapporteer as die onderliggende doodsoorsaak vir 121.9444 mense in die Verenigde State.
Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat die sterftesyfer vir Alzheimer se siekte nie uitsluitlik te wyte is aan die siekte self nie, maar ook aan komplikasies en ander gesondheidskwessies wat as gevolg van die siekte ontstaan.
Namate die siekte vorder, kan individue probleme ondervind met daaglikse lewensaktiwiteite, soos om te eet, te bad en aan te trek, wat kan lei tot wanvoeding, infeksies en ander gesondheidsprobleme.
Daarbenewens kan individue met Alzheimer se siekte 'n verhoogde risiko hê om te val, longontsteking en ander infeksies te kry.
Hoewel daar tans geen geneesmiddel vir Alzheimer se siekte is nie, is daar behandelings beskikbaar wat kan help om simptome te beheer en die lewensgehalte te verbeter.
Navorsing is aan die gang om nuwe behandelings te ontwikkel en uiteindelik 'n geneesmiddel vir hierdie verwoestende siekte te vind.

How deadly is alzheimer?
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate and die, leading to a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills.
It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of all cases.
The disease is ultimately fatal, with the average life expectancy after diagnosis being 4-8 years, although some people can live up to 20 years with the disease.
The mortality rate for Alzheimer's disease varies depending on the study and the population being examined.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and it is the fifth leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older.
In 2019, Alzheimer's disease was reported as the underlying cause of death for 121,9444 people in the United States.
It is important to note that the mortality rate for Alzheimer's disease is not solely due to the disease itself, but also due to complications and other health issues that arise as a result of the disease.
As the disease progresses, individuals may experience difficulty with activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, and dressing, which can lead to malnutrition, infections, and other health problems.
Additionally, individuals with Alzheimer's disease may be at an increased risk of falls, pneumonia, and other infections.
While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease, there are treatments available that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Research is ongoing to develop new treatments and ultimately find a cure for this devastating disease.
