Alzheimer's disease poses a significant public health challenge globally, affecting millions of individuals and their families. As a progressive neurological disorder, it not only diminishes cognitive function but also places immense emotional and financial burdens on caregivers and healthcare systems. The impact extends beyond the individual, influencing societal structures and economies due to the long-term care needs and lost productivity associated with the disease. Efforts in public health focus on raising awareness, early diagnosis, and improving caregiving resources to support affected individuals. Research into prevention and treatment remains crucial to mitigate the growing burden of Alzheimer's and dementia, aiming to enhance quality of life for patients and their families while reducing the overall societal impact.
