Abstract

Comorbidities and cognitive impairments are very common in the elderly. Alzheimer’s Disease is a complex, polygenetic and environmental disease. It takes at least 20 years to develop. Most of the greatest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer’s are identified beside possible protective factors. Alzheimer’s disease is ultimately fatal, self-management of this chronic disease is important.
