what is the different between dimension and Alzheimer?

Answer 1

Alzheimers progresses to include becoming the cause of death. Dementia, generally, does not.

Both of my parents died from Alzheimers.

Answer 2

Alzheimer disease is one type of dementia. Dementia is a neurological impairment or disease that can be caused by lots of different things. Memory, cognition, and mood are affected and different types of dementia affect these things differently. Some forms of dementia are reversible, some are not. Alzheimer disease is, in part, caused by the development of things called "neurofibrillary tangles" in brain cells that edge out what is otherwise supposed to be there. There is a genetic component to Alzheimer disease as well. It is progressive and only recently has a therapy been found that can slow down progression of (but not stop or cure) the disease. Lewy Body dementia is caused, in part, by the development of little red dot-like things in brain cells but Lewy Body dementia is more easily stabilized and treated than is Alzheimer-type dementia. A certain type of dementia also can occur in people who have Parkinson disease (a neuromuscular movement disorder). Bad reactions to certain types of therapeutic drugs also can cause dementia. In these cases, dementia is often reversible.

Answer 3

Dementia is just one of the effects of Alzheimer's. It normally occurs in the later stages of Alzheimers. a person who does not have Alzheimers can have Dementia.

Answer 4

dimension refers to the measurement of things and Alzheimers is a disease of the brain.

Answer 5

I hope you mispelled "dimentia" because my grandfather died of it and it tends to strike the men on my father's side of the family when they're in their 80s. My great-grandfather died of it - my father has told stories about how he would visit his grandmother and his grandfather would be tied in a chair because he was delusional and violent - as did two of my dad's uncles, several of his great-uncles, and one of his cousins. And, it's probably going to kill my father and brother as well if geneticists don't figure something out soon.

My grandfather never had any loss of memory, but he had delusions (always thought someone was trying to break into the house, and would try to pick bugs off of you because he'd see them crawling on your clothes), difficulty differentiating what things were (my grandmother started labeling things like "sugar" and "salt" a good decade before my grandfather died), and he'd leave the water running all the time, I never did learn why. Eventually he had a series of small strokes that killed him.
