What is Alzheimer's Disease and what causes it? In this video designed for elementary learning we explore those questions and help gain a deeper understanding of this disease. Many of us know someone who has been affected by dementia or Alzheimers and if not many of us might in the future. We hope this video helps students gain a better understanding of the disease, its causes, symptoms, and some prevention techniques.

Alzheimer's Disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. Dementia is a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving, or language. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia.

Alzheimer's Symptoms: As a person ages, they may forget things. It is normal. However, one of the symptoms of AD is consistent memory loss, especially of recent events and new information. This is the most noticeable trait of Alzheimer’s, it usually occurs gradually at first, but gets worse over time.

Alzheimer's Prevention Ideas: As you learn, your brain is constantly making connections, and one way that might help prevent Alzheimer’s as you get older is to produce new connections. You can do this by staying active, mentally and physically. This also apples to adult family members or friends who do not have AD. Encourage them to be active too.
