Alzheimer’s is a global health problem with more than 6 million people living with the disease in the US alone. Tremendous gains have been made in the understanding of the science and basic biology underlying Alzheimer’s and other dementias. These advances are leading to great strides in strategies for prevention, detection, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions. The Alzheimer’s Association is a global leader in research, mobilizing the field to advance the vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
Points of Discussion:
- What is dementia and what are common risk factors?
- Discuss Alzheimer's Association research and what you can do to decrease your risk
- Explore early detection, diagnosis, and FDA Approved Therapies
