How deadly is Alzheimer?

Hvussu deyðiligur er alzheimers?

Alzheimer sjúkan er ein progressiv neurologisk sjúka, sum ger, at heilakyknur vikna og doyggja, og tað førir til minking í minni, hugsun og hugsanarevni.

Tað er tann mest vanliga orsøkin til demens, og svarar til 60-80% av øllum tilburðum.

Sjúkan er endaliga deyðilig, og miðal livialdurin eftir diagnosu er 4-8 ár, tó at summi fólk kunnu liva upp til 20 ár við sjúkuni.

Deyðstíttleikin fyri Alzheimers sjúku er ymiskur alt eftir kanningini og hvørjum bólki, ið verður kannaður.

Sambært Alzheimerfelagnum er Alzheimer smittuni tann sætta høvuðsorsøkin til deyða í USA, og hon er tann fimta høvuðsorsøkin til deyða hjá teimum, sum eru 65 ár og eldri.

Í 2019 varð Alzheimer sjúka melda sum tann undirliggjandi deyðsorsøkin hjá 121.9444 fólkum í USA.

Tað er týdningarmikið at leggja til merkis, at deyðstíttleikin av Alzheimer sjúku ikki bert er orsakað av sjálvari sjúku, men eisini av komplikatiónum og øðrum heilsuligum trupulleikum, sum standast av sjúkuni.

Tá sjúkan versnar, kann tað vera trupult at gera gerandisligar gerðir, so sum at eta, vaska sær og lata seg í, og hetta kann elva til føðslutrot, smittu og aðrar heilsutrupulleikar.

Fólk við Alzheimer kunnu eisini vera í størri vanda fyri at detta, fáa lungnabruna og aðrar smittuvandar.

Hóast tað í løtuni ikki finst nøkur viðgerð fyri Alzheimers sjúku, eru viðgerðir til taks, sum kunnu hjálpa við at handfara sjúkueyðkennini og betra um lívsgóðskuna.

Gransking fer fram fyri at menna nýggjar viðgerðir og at finna eina endaliga loysn á hesi ræðuligu sjúku.

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.
