Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract (English)

Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia and among the top ten leading causes of death in high-income countries. Exponential advances in epidemiology, genetics, diagnostic imaging and fluid biomarkers, treatment, and prevention in the last decade reinforce the notion that we are entering a new era in the clinical management of Alzheimer's disease. However, far from triumphalism, this momentum should be accelerated to achieve the goals of preventing Alzheimer's disease and arresting its progression. In this Seminar, we summarise this progress and highlight unmet needs and areas of research priority.
