Many people worry about becoming forgetful. They think forgetfulness is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. But not all people with memory problems have Alzheimer's disease.
The causes probably include a combination of age-related changes in the brain, along with genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
In addition to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, a person with the disease may have other medical problems over time, as all older adults do.
