There is no cure for dementia (including Alzheimer disease), but there may be ways to lower the chance of developing it.
Dementia is a disease that is more common in older people. Alzheimer disease is the most common form of dementia and affects more than 5 million people in the United States. Alzheimer disease starts with memory loss, language problems, and difficulty with logical thinking. For now, there is no curative treatment for patients with Alzheimer disease. However, studies suggest that individuals may be able to lower their chances of developing it. Recent reports show that the number of people with new dementia diagnoses is decreasing in the United States. There are currently 3 main areas of focus in prevention of dementia: lifestyle habits, medical conditions, and mental and social well-being.
