These studies suggest Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, amyloid plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles, with a global prevalence of 24 million, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and current treatments focusing on symptom management.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. It is characterized by a decline in cognitive functions, particularly memory, and is marked by specific neuropathological features such as amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Despite extensive research, the exact causes and effective treatments for AD remain elusive.

Alzheimer's disease is a complex and multifactorial disorder characterized by specific neuropathological features and a progressive decline in cognitive functions. While the exact causes remain unclear, both genetic and environmental factors play significant roles. Current treatments focus on symptom management, and ongoing research aims to develop therapies that can alter the disease's progression. The increasing prevalence of AD underscores the urgent need for effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.
