        abstract = {Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, regarded as a chronic neurodegenerative disease that features behavioural problems, memory impairment, and a progressive decrease in cognitive abilities. The growing prevalence of AD poses dire challenges as the world’s population continues to age, imposing a burden on individuals and families, health care centers, and the economy. This article analyses the Alzheimer’s disease etiology, its risk factors, diagnosis, treatment options, prevention strategies, as well as its societal implications. There is no evidence to suggest a cure AD at this point in time, treatments available aim to control the disease’s symptoms instead of halting or reversing its progression. There is promise for further investigation in AD treatment for tau tangles, amyloid plaques, and neuroinflammation. Diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease at an early stage improves outcomes. Furthermore, a balanced diet, cognitive stimulation, and regular physical activities constitute lifestyle changes that can help mitigate the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The economic burden with a sharp increase of Alzheimer’s patients continues to climb alongside the strain the disease has on informal family caregivers and the health care system.
This assessment focuses on the Alzheimer's problem using modified risk factors to further examine the issue on a population level.},
