Stream Event to Support Dementia Research & Awareness for

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60–70% of cases. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to the death of nerve cells and tissue loss throughout the brain. This degeneration results in a decline in cognitive functions, including memory, language, and problem-solving abilities. As the disease advances, individuals may experience confusion, mood changes, and difficulties with daily activities. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, but treatments are available that can temporarily alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Ongoing research continues to explore ways to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure this debilitating condition.

Alzheimer’s Research UK provides up-to-date data on the economic and social impact of dementia. These stats and more can be found at www.alzheimersresearchuk.org.
