Answer 1

Ans) Alzheimer's disease represents an increasing challenge to public health and the health care system, and has had tremendous impact at both the individual and the societal levels.

- Epidemiologic research has provided sufficient evidence that vascular risk factors in middle-aged and older adults play a significant role in the development and progression of dementia and AD, whereas extensive social network and active engagement in mental, social, and physical activities may postpone the onset of the dementing disorder.

- Multidomain community intervention trials are warranted to determine to what extent preventive strategies toward optimal control of multiple vascular factors and disorders, as well as the maintenance of an active lifestyle, are effective against dementia and AD.
