Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Found in Young Adults. While age is the number one risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, Alzheimer’s is not a natural part of aging and the disease affects more than just the senior age group. In fact, a recent study has found evidence of amyloid buildup in the brains of people as young as 20 years old.

What is young onset dementia? Dementia is considered ‘young onset’ when it affects people under 65 years of age. It is also referred to as ‘early onset’ or ‘working age’ dementia. However this is an arbitary age distinction which is becoming less relevant as increasingly services are realigned to focus on the person and the impact of the condition, not the age.

Other dementia and disease-like symptoms can overlap with Alzheimer’s, so a patient may be diagnosed with different forms of illnesses at the same time. When a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is given, there is usually a second victim, the caregiver.

Learn more about this study and what it means for the future of Alzheimer’s research. A new study lead by Changiz Geula, a research professor at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, found evidence of Alzheimer’s disease in the brains of deceased adults as young as 20 years old.

The research team analyzed the brains of 13 people between the ages of 20-66 with no health issues, 14 people without dementia between the ages of 70-99, and 21 brains of people with Alzheimer’s between the ages of 60-95. They observed that toxic amyloid buildup was evident irrelevant of age and health.

Do not laugh at me. (William Shakespeare (1605) King Lear, Act IV, Scene 7) Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative and always fatal disease that attacks the brain. It gradually strips a person of mental and physical capabilities and renders them totally incapable of caring for themselves. Alzheimer’s disease can affect anyone.

If the diagnosis is probable Alzheimer’s, then this diagnosis will have an accuracy rate of about 90%. A definite Alzheimer’s diagnosis can only be confirmed to 100% when a brain autopsy has been performed after the patient’s death. This kind of information is vital to help research efforts for our future generations.

It is very rare to show signs of dementia before age 40, however the youngest person ever diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was 27 years of age. Alzheimer’s and Down’s Syndrome are both on chromosome 21, and patients who have Down’s Syndrome invariably develop Alzheimer’s if they live long enough.
