Criteria
There are three sets of criteria for the clinical diagnoses of the spectrum of Alzheimers disease: the 2013 fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimers Association (NIA-AA) definition as revised in 2011; and the International Working Group criteria as revised in 2010. Three broad time periods, which can span decades, define the progression of Alzheimers disease from the preclinical phase, to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), followed by Alzheimers disease dementia.Eight intellectual domains are most commonly impaired in AD—memory, language, perceptual skills, attention, motor skills, orientation, problem solving and executive functional abilities, as listed in the fourth text revision of the DSM (DSM-IV-TR).The DSM-5 defines criteria for probable or possible Alzheimers for both major and mild neurocognitive disorder. Major or mild neurocognitive disorder must be present along with at least one cognitive deficit for a diagnosis of either probable or possible AD. For major neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimers disease, probable Alzheimers disease can be diagnosed if the individual has genetic evidence of Alzheimers or if two or more acquired cognitive deficits, and a functional disability that is not from another disorder, are present. Otherwise, possible Alzheimers disease can be diagnosed as the diagnosis follows an atypical route.

The thigh meat of some animals such as chicken and cow is consumed as food in many parts of the world. Society and culture
Western societies generally tolerate clothing that displays thighs, such as short shorts and miniskirts. Beachwear and many athleisure styles often display thighs as well. Professional dress codes may require covering up bare thighs. Many Islamic countries disapprove of or prohibit the display of thighs, especially by women. Strategic covering or display of thighs is used in popular fashion around the world, such as thigh-high boots and zettai ryoiki. Additional images
