Observational findings highlight the urgency for early detection and treatment in Alzheimer's Disease, suggesting critical implications for population health.
Despite its description over 100years ago by German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer, there has been little effective translation of insights on Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathobiology into effective treatments. As of 2015, roughly 50 million people globally — most over the age of 65years — have dementia, with AD accounting for 60–70% of cases. Already, AD is the sixth leading cause of death in the US and the leading killer of women in the UK. As the population ages, AD is expected to affect 135 million people by 2050.
