The doctor named the first signs of Alzheimer's disease

Valery Novoselov, a neurologist, geriatrician and neurophysiologist, said that the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease can be mild forgetfulness, loss of sense of smell and sleep disorders.

In conversation with aif.ru On Monday, June 9, the specialist noted that such manifestations are usually mistaken for natural signs of aging, but conceived they indicate the beginning of a neurodegenerative process.

"In the early stages, the disease manifests itself differently in each patient, and not all symptoms occur at the same time. The first signs are difficult to distinguish from ordinary forgetfulness," the doctor said.

According to him, the presence of genetic factors does not always mean the development of the disease, as the absence of such genes does not guarantee protection against it. The specialist called an active lifestyle the main advice for the prevention of Alzheimer's, writes RT. Regular walks and physical activity reduce the risk of developing the disease.

"The more aerobic exercise and movement, the better the brain is protected from aging," the doctor concluded.
