» biogardener - How to look for it.

I have known about the two strains of Alzheimer's for a long time, because the topic has been covered in support group meetings here in Winnipeg. Either I don't know how to recognize the early onset version, or else none of them are around. All the care givers in all the support groups are looking after the 60+ onset Alzheimer's.

How many people suffer from the 40+ Alzheimer's compared to the 60+? Are the symptoms the same? Maybe you could do a comparison in a future article. I have been wondering about this for a long time.

» Karen_Largent - Good idea Traute

From my reading it seems that the symptomology is basically the same, it just occurs in persons younger than 65. I will delve deeper and see if I can come up with a comparison chart for you.

Thanks for reading Traute.
