Page 1 of 2 A progressive brain disease, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. It gradually destroys a person’s ability to reason, remember, learn, make judgments, and carry out daily activities. In late stages, Alzheimer’s patients need total care.
The rate of progression can vary greatly from one person to the next. The average time to death after diagnosis is eight years.
