0:00.0	Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia.
0:05.2	It's a progressive disease, beginning with mild memory loss, possibly leading to the loss of an ability to carry on a conversation,
0:13.3	and to respond with awareness to the environment.
0:18.7	Ultimately, Alzheimer's disease can lead to death. It involves parts of our brain
0:24.6	that control our thoughts, our memory, and our language, and it can very seriously affect a person's
0:32.6	ability to carry out daily activities, and it affects the entire family. In 2020 it is estimated that
0:42.3	5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease. Younger people may get it, but primarily
0:50.3	this is a disease of the elderly. The number of people living with the disease doubles for every
0:57.5	five years past the age of 65. Because of the aging boomer population, the number of people
1:06.1	diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple to 14 million people by the year 2060.
1:14.8	Symptoms of the disease can first appear after the age of 60, and as you get older, the risk
1:22.3	increases. Changes in the brain begin years before the symptoms first appear. But unfortunately, there's not a lot of

1:41.4	enhance our healthy behaviors many years before the onset of symptoms.
1:50.6	We know that a healthy lifestyle may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease,
1:57.9	getting a good nutritious diet, limiting alcohol consumption, not smoking tobacco,
2:02.8	and getting adequate physical activity may prevent those, even those who are genetically designed
2:12.4	to get Alzheimer's disease from having serious disease later in life. I mentioned that the whole family
2:22.7	is involved and we're going to talk today not only about the disease and how to prevent it,
2:28.7	but how family and friends can most effectively care for their loved ones throughout the entire progression of
2:39.2	disease. This is The Lindsay Elmore Show. Welcome to The Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast for people
2:47.0	who deserve to be healthy with honest, open, and enlightening conversations with doctors,
