Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Alzheimer's is a progressive degenerative disease that causes cognitive and memory impairment, as well as a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral changes that worsen over time. The causes of alzheimer's are still unknown, but researchers believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over time.

Thus, there is a linear relationship between age and onset of alzheimer's, the older a person, the greater the chance of the disease to manifest. Usually the disease comes after age 75. The case of Sally's mother, who was diagnosed at a very young age at 50, gives evidence that her illness is manifested by genetic factors.

A diet rich in fiber and fluids would be most beneficial for people with __________.
Llana [10]
<span>The answer is letter A.<span>

Constipation is a condition in which the bowels are having difficulty in movement causing a person to experience long periods of not excreting waste. Food rich in fiber are said to help ease and push the waste inside the bowels and also contribute in the easy release of these materials. Fluids on the other hand pass through the intestinal track easily making compounds slid through the bowels easily. If not treated soon, debris inside the intestines or digestive tract might cause infections and further complications within the body. </span></span></span>
