Alzheimer's is the topic at day centre annual meeting In spite of the recent in- terest in Alzheimer's Disease, the condition is as old as man himself, Dr. Hannah Fox told last Thurs- day's sixth annual meeting of the Wingham Day Centre for the Homebound. Dr. Fox, a researcher at the University of Western Ontario in London, gave the group some valuable in- formation about Alzheimer's and cleared up a few widely - held misconceptions. Alzheimer's Disease has been getting a lot of press lately, possibly because one- time Holywood glamour queen Rita Hayworth is a victim. However not all that publicity is good, warned Dr. Fox, since now people often label all older people suf- fering from dementia as victims of Alzheimer's and it is just not true. Alzheimer's is a disease because it follows a par- ticular and debilitating course. It is a disease which afflicts older adults, sometimes even people in the late 30s or early. 40s, but it is most common among those 65 years, of age and over and the risk of getting Alzheimer's increases with age. People who contract the disease have 'done nothing wrong. They do not "catch" it because they have let themselves "go'. It is not a chance happening, said Dr. Fox, and can happen in any social or economic strata. One person in 10 over the age of 65 will suffer some form of senile dementia and Alzheimer's accounts for 75 per cent of those cases.

Madge 9:30 a.m. - Trinity, Belgrave Fox was quick to point out that 90 per cent of seniors do not suffer from dementia, aside from normal periods of minor forgetfulness. The victims of Alzheimer's are not quite so fortunate. In its early stages it is characterized by forget- fulness and minor mental confusion. It progresses, at varying speeds, to the point where the victim has trouble dealing with even the most simple aspects of everyday life and eventually will need round-the-clock care. There may even be a change in personality. Mild - tempered individuals may become abusive. or even violent. They may even get to the point where they do not recognize members of thejr own family:- "The amily -"The family pays the toil on every score" throughout the disease, said Dr. Fox. It 'has a physical toll since caring for a victim of Alzheimer's Disease often becomes a 24 -hour -a -day job. There is a mental toll paid since loved ones watch the suffering individual turn into a virtual stranger, who does not know them, let alone appreciate their sacrifice. In addition there often is a financial toll as the suffering individual may worsen and require professional care and a social toll when friends and neighbors stop calling. Medical science knows Alzheimer's is a disease, but as yet there is no concrete test for Alzheimer's.Doctors arrive at a diagnosis only through a process of elimination since the only way to verify Alzheimer's is by examining a victim's brain cells after death. The disease first was described by Alois Alzheim- er of Germany in the early part of the century. He • noticed abnormal nerve fibres in the brian cells of patients under 60 and thus the name. However it was not until. the 1960s when it was found to be the same disease which affects older adults as well.. The study of Alzheimer's is further impaired because it does not occur in animals, the most common laboratory subjects. In closing Dr. Fox stressed that if anyone knows of someone displaying some of the symptoms of Alzheim- er's, that person should get the individual to a physician. Even though there is no cure for Alzheimer's. Disease, some of its symptoms have been treated successfully. Depression also is com- mon among senior citizens and often can mimic the early stages of Alzheimer's. "Depression is 10 times as common as Alzheimer's and 100 times as;treatable." In other business at the meeting, • Chairman Janet':. Reid submitted a report, as did Director Rita Rice. It was noted almost 90 people „aged 49 to 96 years of age attend the day centre on a regular basis. Following[Dr. Fox's presentation a social hour was held and refresh- ments served.
