Question

Which of the following is false about Alzheimer's disease ?

• A. One in 10 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s disease
• B. Alzheimer’s disease is curable
• C. Cause dementia
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Frame the condition. Alzheimer's disease is a relentless, progressive brain disorder and the leading cause of dementia, marked by memory loss and confusion.

Step 2: Verify the true claims. Epidemiology supports about one in ten over age 65 being affected, and dementia is its defining clinical syndrome, so both are accurate.

Step 3: Expose the falsehood. Treatments such as cholinesterase inhibitors only temporarily relieve cognitive and behavioral symptoms; they neither stop nor reverse the disease. Therefore calling Alzheimer's curable is incorrect.

No cure exists, so the curable statement is the false one.\[\boxed{\text{Alzheimer's disease is curable}}\]
