Alzheimer's oftentimes debilitates the individual. Remember, the reason by which people die with this illness is that their bodies can become so frail that they now open up towards a situation, would say a pneumonia to set it and cause the demise of the individual. Literally the individual with Alzheimer's disease has a greater likelihood of suffering from additional medical problems, probably because they're not addressing those medical problems in the appropriate fashion because they become "forgetful" and don't follow through with treatment regimen recommendations the way that they should.
