What is Early-Onset Alzheimer's?
According to a report published in Hopkins Medicine, Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. It affects your memory, thinking, and behavior. Sometimes, it progresses to a level that even your daily activities and daily tasks are affected.

Alzheimer's is a neurological disease that most commonly affects the elderly. However, when it occurs in people under the age of 65, it is called early-onset or younger-onset Alzheimer's disease. This is a rare form of Alzheimer's. Very few people develop the early-onset form. Many of these people develop the disease in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s.

Causes and Risk Factors for Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease
According to experts, a family history is the only known risk factor for developing the disease. Specific gene mutations, genetics, lifestyle, Down syndrome, protein buildup, and other factors can cause it. Essentially, Alzheimer's is characterized by the abnormal buildup of amyloid and tau proteins in the brain. These proteins form plaques and tangles that damage brain cells, or neurons.
