Alzheimer's disease is a syndrome that leads to significant decline in daily life ability, learning ability, work ability and social interaction ability. In 1906, German neuropathologist Alzheimer's first reported a 51-year-old female patient with progressive dementia. In 1910, the disease was named Alzheimer's disease . Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative central nervous system disease characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction and behavioral damage in the elderly and pre-agengeal stages. It is one of the common types of Alzheimer's disease, accounting for about 50%-70% of Alzheimer's disease. With the aging population, the number of patients with Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. In China, about 1 in every 20 people over the age of 65 suffer from Alzheimer's disease. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be more than 40 million Alzheimer's disease patients in my country.
