mote1985 [20]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Alzheimer's is a progressive degenerative disease that causes cognitive and memory impairment, as well as a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral changes that worsen over time. The causes of alzheimer's are still unknown, but researchers believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over time.

Thus, there is a linear relationship between age and onset of alzheimer's, the older a person, the greater the chance of the disease to manifest. Usually the disease comes after age 75. The case of Sally's mother, who was diagnosed at a very young age at 50, gives evidence that her illness is manifested by genetic factors.

Your sister complains to you that your 2-year old niece doesn’t ""eat anything"" and asks your advice. What tips to you give her
Dmitry [639]
Serve the right amount. Offer them a tablespoon of each food for each year of age. For example, if he or she is 3, serve 3 tablespoons of each food.

Small portions give him or her the chance to ask for more.

Be patient. Offer new foods many times. You may have to offer a food 10 to 15 times before your child will try it.

Participating in the different parts of mealtime may make him or her more likely to eat.
Make things fun. Cut food into shapes with cookie cutters.

Display the food in a creative way on their plate. Have then come up with special names for their favorite food

Offer choices. Instead of serving a vegetable to them, let them choose between two options. “Would you like broccoli or cauliflower for dinner?”

Mix new with old. Serve new foods alongside favorites. This may make trying something new easier.

Let them dip. Provide healthy dips to encourage them to try new fruits or vegetables. These could include hummus, yogurt, or low-fat salad dressings.

Be a good example. If one sees you eating a variety of healthy foods, he or she will be more likely to try them.
