How Alzheimer's disease presents a negative impact on daily life, what are some government statistics?

Alzheimer’s disease is the progressing brain disorder which is very dangerous for the human brain. The disease plays a major role to destroy the memory of a human, its thinking and analytical skills as well as also destroy the ability to solve the simplest problem. In the history and statistics of this disease, it is determined that the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease appeared in the middle of the 1960s. According to the report, almost 5.5 million Americans had dementia due to this disease within the age the 65 to 70 age group. After providing a short briefing of this disease, I would like to come to the actual question which is asked in this paper that how Alzheimer’s disease presents a negative impact on daily life. As mentioned above the Alzheimer’s disease destroys the memory of humans even it can be more dangerous because it can destroy the analytical skills of human and thinking power that humans will be unable to solve any kind of puzzle or task in his daily life. Furthermore, it is a very dangerous disease that has different kinds of stages and every next stage can be different and dangerous than the previous stage.

Stages: There are three different types of stages of Alzheimer’s disease which are given as well as explained below

Mild Alzheimer’s Disease: The mild Alzheimer’s disease stage is considered the light or less dangerous stage in which people may experience the memory loss heavily as well as some different kinds of reasoning may also be experienced as the Alzheimer’s disease grows. When the people who are suffering from this disease present in this stage, they can also experience getting lost, forgetting the house location, trouble handling money and paying bills, repeating one thing for many times as well as the feeling changes int their behaviors and personality.

Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease: With the time when the Alzheimer’s disease grown, it can start to damage some areas of the brain that control the reasoning of language, processing of sensory organs as well as cause of the conscious thoughts. Furthermore, the patients in this stage face heavy troubles to recognize their friends and family members because the memory loss and the confusion will become worst than the mild stage. In addition, the patients in this stager cannot learn new things as well as unable to solve the problem and cannot perform multistep tasks.

Severe Alzheimer’s Disease: It the very critical and last stage of this disease that effectively and dangerously affects the daily life of the patients. In this stage, it is spread by the tangles as well as plaques throughout the brain ultimately. Furthermore, the tissues of the brain will be started to shrink. In this stage, the patients cannot take care of themselves and completely dependent on others because of memory loss and loss of thinking and understanding ability.

The document is also showing the current statics of Alzheimer’s disease which is providing very important information on the death suspects as well as the data of the death rates due to this disease by the national center for health statistics.

But first of all, a graph is given in this document which is showing the percentage of suspects and deaths in all of the age groups between 2000 and 2007.

The graph is showing the percentage of Alzheimer’s disease as well as it is also compared with another kind of diseases in the world. According to the statistical analysis, there are 0.5% deaths occurred due to the breast cancer, -1.9% deaths due to the prostate cancer, -8.9% deaths from the heart diseases, -12.7% deaths due to the stroke as well as the -60.5% deaths due to the HIV. But one thing is more interesting in this graph is that the only disease has the highest rate in a number of suspects and death of 145.0% and they were all the patients who were suffering Alzheimer’s disease. It is the current statistical analysis between 2000 to 2007 which is created from the national for health statistics.

Furthermore, the duration of Alzheimer’s illness from diagnosis to the deaths data or statistical analysis is also provided in this document which is showing the number of deaths along with the annual mortality rate in every 100,000 because of the Alzheimer’s disease state by state the of 2017 (Alzheimer’s Association, 2019).

Furthermore, the Annual Alzheimer’s death rates in every 100,000 people according to the age groups as well as the years. The table is showing the statistical data of the people in year wise as well as with respect to age groups that are providing information in which age groups this disease will be very dangerous and the number of deaths increases.

The table is showing the data on the illness of the suspects of Alzheimer’s disease annually from the year 2000 to the year 2007. The data which is collected is also showing the age groups. There are five age groups are given in this table. The statistical analysis is showing the lowest and highest rate of deaths. The minimum rates of the deaths are identified in the 40-54 age group but the highest rate of deaths which are identified in two groups. The 75-84 age group is showing the second-highest rate of deaths while the 85+ age group is illustrating the highest rate of deaths due to Alzheimer’s disease year wise. The statistical analysis is also showing that the number of deaths was only 667.7 in 2000. But after the passage of time, this rate increased and it increased at the peak level in deaths due to Alzheimer’s disease in 2017.

How Alzheimer's affects the growth of a person in the general population, and how we have tried to combat this disease so far?

Alzheimer’s disease is dangerous for human memory and brain and it sometimes very dangerous and effective to cause deaths. Alzheimer’s disease is the disease that completely affects the growth of a person in the general population. Alzheimer’s disease starts damaging the memory of the human brain in which the patient or suspected person may lose his memory as well as may also unable to remember the most important things which can be very useful and essential in daily life. First of all, the suspected person will also lose his analytical skills and power to solve and carry multiple or multistep problems in the daily. Because of this disease, the human cannot be grown because of heavy memory loss. When the human will lose his power to remember things, he cannot learn new and other things to perform the tasks to run his business or to perform his job in a better way. These persons who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease cannot solve the real-world problems as well as the suspected person will be unable to perform physical works in effective ways. In simple words, the patients of Alzheimer's cannot perform the physical work and will be unable to exercise which is the main source to provide the strongness to the body and bones. In the moderate stage of this disease, some important parts of the human brain will be damaged. In this stage, the disease will attack the language reasoning area and the patient will face troubles to speak and due to this issue, his confidence will be gone at the zero level and psychological problems may also occur by falling in the inferiority complex. When the patient will enter the inferiority complex, he will automatically make himself limited and completely leave the gathering of people. It is because the patient will be unable to understand the thing and cannot recognize the faces of people like his friends or relatives. So, Alzheimer's disease will completely damage the growth of the person in the general population.

Doctors can treat this disease. No doubt it is hard for them to handle and treat the patients through prescribing the medications as well as through the brain therapy sessions. Many prescriptions are approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the United States to deal with this disease effectively. The treatment of the suspected people can provide dignity, comfort as well as independence to the patients for a long time. In the mild stage Alzheimer's, the doctors are providing some medications such as Exelon (Rivastigmine), Razadyne (Galantamine) as well as Aricept, to the patients which can be very effective for them. In the moderate stage, the medication such as Namzaric and Exelon patch, Aricept as well as the combination of Aricept and Namenda provided to patients for treatment.
