Stages and Life Expectancy of Alzheimer's Disease
5 Stages of Alzheimers disease: What to expect and what to do.
Dr. Paulien Moyaert describes the different stages of Alzheimer's disease and what to expect as the disease progresses, as well as the average life expectancy for someone with Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia.
Other types are vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and lewy body dementia.
Alzheimer’s disease involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language.
There are five stages associated with Alzheimer’s disease: Preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, mild alzheimer's disease, moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and severe Alzheimer’s disease.
On average, people with Alzheimer's disease live between 8 and 12 years after diagnosis, but some survive 20 years or more.
