The symptoms and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
One in every 10 people over 80 years will be the bearer of Alzheimer's disease each year that passes. The same probability holds for every 1 100 persons aged 70 and 1 per 1,000 people
Over 60 years.
This is the 1999 evaluation; made by the Spanish Federation of Associations of Relatives of Alzheimer's Sick (AFAF) Alzheimer's disease affects 8-15% of the population over 65 years (Ritchie & Kildee, 1995).
There are currently worldwide between 17 and 25 million people with Alzheimer's disease, which represents 70% of all diseases affecting the geriatric population.

Alzheimer's is the name of a German doctor, Aloes Alzheimer (1864-1915), who in 1906, while doing an autopsy, found in the brain of the dead injuries that no one had ever seen before.
It was a problem within the neurons (brain cells), which appeared atrophied brain in various places, and boards full of strange and twisted fibers, tangled together.
 Since then, this type of degeneration in neurons known as Senile Plaques, key characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
