Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB): A Comprehensive Guide
Description:
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. These Lewy bodies disrupt normal brain function, leading to a gradual decline in cognitive abilities and physical capabilities.
Associated Diseases:
DLB is often associated with other neurodegenerative conditions, such as:
- Parkinson's disease
- Alzheimer's disease
- Multiple system atrophy
Did you Know ?
Approximately 1.4 million people in the United States are living with DLB, and it is the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's disease.
