Dementia vs. Alzheimer's
Alzheimer’s. Dementia. The words are used interchangeably, but there is a difference and it’s worth knowing.
Dementia is an umbrella term under which Alzheimer’s — the most common type of dementia — falls. It is not a disease; rather, the term dementia speaks in a general way to memory loss and changes in cognitive abilities that are serious enough to impact day-to-day life. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the specific types of dementia that exist.
How common is Alzheimer’s? The Alzheimer’s Association says it accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all cases of dementia.
Memory loss is the symptom that is most commonly associated with dementia or Alzheimer’s, but it’s not the only one. Language is affected. Visuospatial function (that’s the ability to correctly judge the position of objects, to read a map or road signs, etc.) is affected, as is executive function (the ability to reason, focus on a task, solve problems or plan). These symptoms together contribute to cognitive decline and disrupt daily life.
