True.​
Alzheimer’s is more common in women than men.​

Age is the biggest risk factor, and women tend to live longer, so more women reach the ages when Alzheimer’s becomes more common. Research also suggests biology may play a role.​

Now that the holidays have passed, you might notice small changes in your parent’s eating habits, often easy to miss when you’re busy or not seeing them every day.​

False.
Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a normal part of aging.​

Some forgetfulness, like misplacing keys or taking longer to remember names, can happen as we get older.​

Alzheimer’s is different. It causes memory changes that interfere with daily life, such as forgetting familiar people or repeating the same questions.​

Knowing the difference helps families notice changes earlier and seek the right support.​
