Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alzheimer's disease may be found in half of all people over 85. It is not an insignificant factor in dementia in old age, and it is not caused by a virus. It is primarily studied and treated by medical doctors, not sociologists. While it can occur in persons under 75 who are in independent living situations, it is less common than in older individuals.
