how education and the healthcare industry play a role in the treatment of Alzheimer’s patients.4/25/2017 Abstract
The research essay delves into the tragic life-changing disease of Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer's is a progressive multifactorial disease of the brain, an irreversible steady loss of memory, judgment, and capability to function. Alzheimer’s is an autosomal recessive disease derived from a mutation in chromosome 19 in the APOE4 gene. The research topic discussed is how education and the healthcare industry play a role in the treatment of Alzheimer’s patients. The questions answered were on the basis of environmental risk factor, education, diagnosis, health disparities, inequity, genetic risk factors, prognosis, and ongoing research of the disease. This research did not contain any of my personal independent testing nor participants. The conclusion of the research is although Alzheimer's is a detrimental life altering disease; the treatment of the disease contains many unjust health inequalities. Community involvement and individual fortitude can eradicate the inequalities of Alzheimer’s through fundamental public awareness. Keywords: Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, APOE4 gene, Presenile Dementia, and Senile dementia Awa L.
