Alzheimer's alarm, the 5 signs not to be underestimated: when memory problems do not depend only on age - IrishDentist.ie

Forgetting where you left your keys or not recalling a person’s name right away are often part of normal aging, but recurring memory lapses or trouble with previously routine activities should trigger medical evaluation rather than automatic assumptions. Marked alongside World Alzheimer’s Day on 21 September, the IrishDentist.ie article distinguishes normal age-related changes from possible early Alzheimer’s symptoms and notes that dementia is not the same as Alzheimer’s. It draws on new regional data from Piedmont: among people over 65, there are an estimated more than 92,000 with dementia, including about 61,000 with Alzheimer’s, plus around 1,700 cases aged 35–64. Turin province concentrates over 47,000 cases in those older than 65.
