What causes Alzheimer's Disease?

The video discusses Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting memory and cognition. It highlights the importance of early intervention and research in identifying biomarkers like amyloid beta plaques and Tau tangles. The video encourages participation in clinical trials to better understand and treat Alzheimer's, emphasizing the need for early detection and involvement in research, especially for those over 65 or with a family history of the disease.

What percentage of dementia cases are attributed to Alzheimer's disease?

• 10-20%

• 30-50%

• 90-100%

• 60-80%

Which of the following is NOT a key biomarker associated with Alzheimer's disease?

• Dopamine receptors

• Tau tangles

• Neuronal death

• Amyloid beta plaques

What is the primary reason for the difficulty in early detection of Alzheimer's disease?

• Symptoms are often mistaken for normal aging

• Lack of awareness about the disease

• Insufficient medical technology

• Limited research funding

Why is early intervention crucial in managing Alzheimer's disease?

• It eliminates the need for medication

• It prevents the disease from occurring

• It helps in slowing down the disease progression

• It can completely cure the disease

What is the role of clinical trials in Alzheimer's research?

• To test new treatments and interventions

• To replace traditional treatments

• To eliminate the need for early detection

• To provide free medication to patients

Who is encouraged to participate in Alzheimer's research trials?

• Only medical professionals

• Individuals with a family history of Alzheimer's

• Anyone over the age of 65

• Only those diagnosed with Alzheimer's

What is the significance of understanding normal aging in Alzheimer's research?

• To develop new aging therapies

• To differentiate between normal aging and Alzheimer's symptoms

• To reduce healthcare costs

• To increase the lifespan of individuals
