Introduction
Nation wide there are around fifty-million people who are diagnose with dementia, and the numbers are rising making this one of the biggest global health phenomenon facing our world today (Sommerlad, 2017). According to our textbook Foundation of Behavioral Neuroscience Alzheimer’s occurs approximately ten percent of the population all above the age of sixty-five and a staggering fifty percent of people the age of eighty-five (Carlson, 2017). Although, this is a rising concern, there is some hope to counter this disease. There is research that is finding new ways to counter this disease and it simply starting with the brain and health of an individual.

There are also outdated research on AD from the 1980’s. More recent data are therefore needed for models, and preferably on large and diverse samples of subjects, which are expected to better represent the heterogeneity of the disease such as; ethnicity/race, age, income, education, genetic profile, pathologic evidence (Gustavsson, 2017). …show more content…
This condition was known in the early 1900’s along with other neurological conditions. The neurofibrillary tangle (NFT), had made a new connection with AD. The psychiatrist who founded this was Emil Kraeplin (Castellani, 2010). With time Alzheimer’s disease was that of young women this was called “presenile” this occurred in women who were younger than 65 and Alzheimer for women older than 65 years of age (Castellani, 2010). However, there is not a reliable peripheral biochemical marker for AD, PET scanning can be used to derivative from the
