WHAT CAUSES ALZEIMER’S

Alzheimer's disease start’s by a bunch of proteins in the brain

Some how scientist say that plaque’s and tangles may be the

cause of Alzheimer’s.

of the brain and start to die

remember new information they also lose their ability to

understand and interact with other people

Alzheimer’s disease mostly occurs when someone reaches an age

or somewhere around age 70

Cause of a large amount of the brain’s neurons are already dead

or are dying from the disease

The process may go faster as the person ages .

WHY DO PEOPLE GET ALZHEIMER’S

People that have parent’s or sibling that developed Alzheimer's

disease are likely to develop it as well

Scientists say that there’s two kinds of gene that are passed by

family members The first gene is APOE-e4, that increases the

chance of developing Alzheimer's

The others are just cause of the ageing and neurons die
