Question

Susie's parents suffered from alzheimer disease before they died. although suzie is still in her early forties, she is concerned about her own cognitive functioning. her niece, diana, is a medical student. what helpful advice is diana most likely to give suzie based on her knowledge of alzheimer disease

Answer 1

A helpful advice that Diana would likely give Susie base on her knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease is that to prevent a person from developing this disease, a person should engage in cognitive tasks. Diana should advice Susie to engage in tasks that involves challenging her cognitive memory in which she must do frequently.

Answer 2

Susie's parents suffered from Alzheimer disease so there is a big chance that Susie may have it too because it is hereditary. But since Susie is still in her early forties, and is concerned about her own cognitive functioning,  Diana can help her by advising her that she must not worry. The onset of Alzheimer’s happens in the 65th year. Early onset in the form of dementia strikes people younger than 65 but it is very minimal at 5%. To prevent the disease, Diana must advise her aunt Susie to eat foods with plenty of omega-3 fats. Food sources include salmon, tuna, mackerel, seaweed, and sardines or supplements with fish oil.
