Process Of Aging & Age-Related Diseases

Age-related diseases are commonly noticeable among older adults. Alzheimer’s Disease (also called senile dementia), for instance, affects the central nervous system and is known to worsen over time. It begins in the hippocampus and slowly travels throughout the regions of the cerebrum. Signs of this disease are memory loss, troubles with finishing recognizable tasks, vision loss, and experiencing personality and mood changes. Moreover, Atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease, can strike any age group (predominantly people in their 50s or 60s) but doesn’t pose a significant threat unless you smoke, have high cholesterol or blood pressure. While there are treatment options, these diseases are incurable and can last a lifetime.Process Of Aging & Age-Related Diseases
