Question
How do most people die with Alzheimer's disease?
Hi Harry,
Thank you for writing. Alzheimer's individuals do not die from Alzheimer disease, they generally die from complications related to the disease; possibly, pneumonia, renal failure, stroke, etc.
Please refer to the prior question from Phyllis to learn more about my expansion on this information.
Best Regards,
Michalene Peticca, M.A.
