• Corporate Authors:
  Alzheimer's Association ; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
• Description:
  The course of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias should be viewed as a continuum across the life span that begins with healthy cognitive functioning. Over many years, physiological changes occur in the brain that are pre-symptomatic but eventually can result in mild cognitive impairment, when changes in memory or thinking become noticeable to persons affected, loved ones, colleagues, and friends. While a person with mild cognitive impairment is at greater risk of developing dementia, this is not inevitable. There is growing scientific evidence that healthy behaviors, which have been shown to prevent cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, also may reduce risk for cognitive decline and possibly dementia.
