Measuring tau and hippocampus in addition to amyloid may improve Alzheimer's diagnosis
Heart disease continues to stand as the leading global cause of death, but there has been a rapid rise in brain disease-related deaths, and risk factors for both are similar, according to an American Heart Association report.Approximately 19 million deaths worldwide were attributed to CVD in 2020, representing an increase of about 18.7% from 2010, according to the AHA’s annual Heart Disease
Increasingly, Alzheimer’s disease research has focused on the preclinical stage, when people have biological evidence of Alzheimer’s but either no symptoms or minimal symptoms—the time when interventions might have the potential to prevent future decline of older adults.
