Spain records 40,000 new Alzheimer's diagnoses each year, and women account for more than 65% of cases. Healthy habits may help prevent or delay nearly half of them.

More than 800,000 people in Spain live with Alzheimer's disease. The country records 40,000 new cases each year. Women account for more than 65% of those diagnoses, according to figures attributed to the Sociedad Española de Neurología and reported by La Vanguardia. The numbers make prevention and early recognition harder to ignore as the disease gradually disrupts everyday life.

An occasional lapse is not the first warning sign. Forgetfulness becomes concerning when it keeps happening and starts to interfere with ordinary activities. That difference can help families decide when a change needs attention instead of dismissing it as a normal mistake.
