Introduction
The aging of the population, is associated with an increase in illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease(AD). The reports from the National Epidemiologic Bulletin(Ben) have projected that Alzheimer's disease represents 54% of all dementia. The prevalence of this pathology is increasing with age and the increase seems to be higher among women. Within the age span of 65 69 years 0.7 of the female population has the dis ease, compared to 23,6% of the women that had aged beyond 90 years. The corresponding figures for males are 0.6(65-69 years) and17.6 for those who passed 90 years of age.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in progressive cognitive, functional, and behavioral changes in addition it is identifiedas one of the mental disorders that may affect decision-making capacity"

Fluctuating cognition occurs in all the major dementias and it is characterized by periodic shifts in the level of arousal, ranging from episodes of lucidity to reduced awareness and even stupor (9,10).
