Preventing the Onset of Cognitive Decline

By the year 2050, it is estimated that the number of people with Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia will explode to 36 million in the US and over 160 million worldwide, over 3 times the current rate. Once a patient has dementia, efforts to reverse it are challenging. Research in the last 10 years has focused on our ability to identify preclinical stages and has moved forward rapidly.
