I think they start shutting down. My husband died with Parkinson's dementia and he had lost 50 pounds by then.

Do you recall how long it took for that weight loss? I’m sorry for your loss.
My cousin who had Vascular dementia, later thought to be mixed with ALZ, lost weight gradually over 6 years, but most of it over about a year. She ate well, but lost weight nonetheless. She was extremely thin at the end. It was during covid so my visits were limited, but the MC told me she never lost her appetite. They were surprised when she passed away one morning in their presence. She was bed bound by this time. She was on hospice for 2 years,
