Eurhythmy and life stories as a prevention against Alzheimer

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease which interferes in the ability to carry out daily life activities due to gradual deterioration of memory, language, temporo-spatial orientation and visual spatial functions.1 Such disease affects approximately 18.7% of people between 75 and 84 and, 47.2% in over 85 year old populations2 Due to the fact that the world’s population life expectancy is increasing, above all in the western world,3 it is expected that in the future the risk of showing AD or diseases related to dementia will increase.
