Question

Which of the following is false about Alzheimer's disease ?

• A. One in 10 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s disease
• B. Alzheimer’s disease is curable
• C. Cause dementia
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine which statement about Alzheimer's disease is false, we evaluate each option based on known medical facts:

1. One in 10 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s disease: This statement is supported by various studies and data from health organizations, making it true.
2. Alzheimer’s disease is curable: Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, only treatments to manage symptoms, making this statement false.
3. Cause dementia: Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, so this is true.
4. All of the above: Since one of the statements is false, "All of the above" cannot be true.

Thus, the false statement about Alzheimer's disease is "Alzheimer’s disease is curable".
