Answer 1

Answer:

Option A - ageing lead to dementia.

Explanation:

• Aging is a normal part of life.
• This stage of life must be experienced at one's own time and speed.
• Ageing, in its broadest meaning, refers to all of the changes that occur throughout one's lifetime.
• These changes begin at birth, as one grows, develops, and matures.
• Many neurological problems are linked to ageing, as the brain's ability to transmit messages and communicate decreases.
• The most common concern among the elderly is the loss of brain function, which can involve the loss of one's identity due to dementia (like Alzheimer’s disease).
• Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are neurological diseases that develop with age.
• Alzheimer's disease is marked by increasing cognitive decline, as well as changes in behaviour and a decline in daily activities.
• Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent form of senile dementia.
• Alzheimer's disease causes an overall imbalance in the senior population by producing memory loss, personality changes, and behavioural changes such as sadness, apathy, social isolation, mood swings, distrust of others, impatience, and aggression.

Hence, dementia is very common problem noticed due to ageing.
