These findings suggest that subtle, unexplained body mass and weight loss in an older person may be an early sign of AD [Alzheimer's disease] and can precede the development of obvious memory problems,

Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease is changing as we get more information, particularly when we look at the pathology of the disease. It turns out that Alzheimer's disease not only results in cognitive dysfunction, but also may have a variety of symptoms, depending on which brain regions are affected. If the disease pathology affects a region of the brain that controls weight, your body mass may decline prior to loss of cognition.

This research casts a totally new light on Alzheimer's disease. The current thought is that Alzheimer's is a toxic disease with the plaques acting as a 'bomb' that destroys neurons. In actuality, AD may be a more subtle disease which develops when the normal process of nerve signaling goes out of balance.

Dementia, which includes Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive problems, may impair seniors' judgment as well as their memory. That's when, with an older adult's input, a caregiver can intervene to promote a safe environment and help ensure quality of life.

It has long been known that people with Alzheimer's disease lose body mass and become cachectic.

Unexplained weight loss in the elderly … usually triggers an investigation (by the person's physician).

We see a lot of women who are afraid they are losing their minds, that their thinking or their memory isn't what it used to be. Their big fear is that it's early (onset) Alzheimer's disease.

Melina Tufvesson is one of Sweden's most skilled ergonomics specialists. The most likely explanation is that there is something about these individuals or about this disease that affects body mass index (BMI) before the clinical syndrome becomes apparent -- that loss of BMI reflects the disease process itself.

The findings suggest that we need to do whatever we can to keep the transplanted pancreas functioning because it may protect against development of long-term kidney transplant dysfunction. The findings also underscore the importance of controlling weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol - the variables that define metabolic syndrome.

These survey findings underscore the fact that when Baby Boomers are asked to address the potential of Alzheimer's in their future, they are clearly not ready emotionally, psychologically or financially. Many Boomers are currently more focused on health issues like heart disease or arthritis and mistakenly consider AD a problem of their elders. But when asked to consider themselves at age 70 with Alzheimer's disease, there was a visceral reaction and an awakening to the reality of what could await them.

There are a few genes that have been implicated in the development of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, but other than APOE, no genes have been found that increase risk for the more common, late-onset form of the disease.

Most of us can visualize the need for life and health insurance, but we cannot see ourselves needing help with activities of daily living — bathing, dressing, getting up from a chair or worse, the dreaded memory loss of Alzheimer's disease. My usual clients are the ones who have seen the need up close and personal.

He was taken by his wife to a neurologist in February 1997 with profound memory loss, ... Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease. If it was bad enough in 1997 that she took him to see a neurologist, imagine how bad it is now.

We recommend right from the beginning weight loss, maintenance and lean body mass throughout the animal's life.
