Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia1, affecting memory, thinking, and behaviour. Not everyone who experiences cognitive decline will develop Alzheimer’s disease 6. Talking to your healthcare professional as part of your annual visit is important even if you are not experiencing cognitive changes.
Spotting the signs: Typical vs Atypical Aging 1
Some changes to your memory and thinking can be a typical part of getting older. Others could be a sign of Alzheimer's disease or other atypical brain changes. Explore the signs below to learn the difference.

Myths vs Facts
Separating fact from fear: Understanding Alzheimer's disease
fact-img
 Myth
"Memory loss is a normal part of ageing — nothing can be done."
 Fact
While some memory changes are normal with age, significant changes in thinking and memory are not.1 Early detection and timely care can make a meaningful difference.
 Myth
"Alzheimer's is a family matter — not something to discuss with a doctor."
 Fact
Alzheimer's has a biological cause and a clinical diagnosis pathway.4 Seeing a neurologist early — before symptoms become severe — opens the door to more options.
 Myth
"Only elderly people get Alzheimer's disease."
 Fact
While Alzheimer's is more common in those over 65, early-onset Alzheimer's can affect people in their 40s and 50s.2 Risk factors can be identified and managed at any age.
 Myth
"There is nothing you can do to prevent Alzheimer's."
 Fact
Studies suggest that 45% of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed 3 by managing changeable risk factors. Your Apollo doctor can help you identify these risk factors.
