Types of Alzheimer's disease?


I want to know if Familial Alzheimer's disease a kind of Early onset Alzheimer's Disease or not
please answer me yes or no
and give the supporting website
Thank you so much~~

I've never heard of Familial Alzheimer's disease. From the name, it sounds hereditary. Early-onset Alzheimer's (which I believe is before age 65) does have a genetic/hereditary component.
The best place to get info on AD is the Alzheimer's Association website.

Familial Alzheimer's Disease occurs in about 5% of all Alzheimer's Disease reported.
A great book to start with is called "Alzheimer's for Dummies".
Please don't take offense at this suggestion, I work in an assisted living facility where the majority of residents have some level of Alzheimers. Report It
