It is clearly stated in the passage that ----.
Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic, degenerative condition
of the brain cells. Some risk factors can be avoided, but
others, such as increasing age and genetic properties,
are inevitable. It is now the third most common cause of
death in the developed world, with more women than
men affected. The first symptom is often an impaired
memory for recent events, which can be difficult to
distinguish from the normal age-related decline in
memory. As the disease progresses, forgetfulness may
hinder routine activities such as cooking and household
chores. Those affected may be aware of their memory
difficulties, so they can deal with the problem by, for
example, writing notes or letting someone else manage
decisions for them. In the late stages of the disease, the
changes in memory and behaviour are marked.
Sufferers cannot compensate for their memory lapses
and become confused. They may develop paranoid
behaviour like jealousy or accusations of theft, and may
experience visual hallucinations. People in advanced
stages cease to recognize even their family members
and close friends. They may also refuse to eat, develop
unsteadiness and increasingly lose weight.
