Abstract

Curing Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains an elusive goal; indeed, it may even prove to be impossible, given the nature of the disease. Although modulating disease progression is an attractive target and will alleviate the burden of the most severe stages, this strategy will not reduce the prevalence of the disease itself. Preventing or (as described in this article) delaying the onset of cognitive impairment and AD will provide the greatest benefit to individuals and society by pushing the onset of disease into the later years of life. Because of the high variability in the age of onset of the disease, AD prevention studies that do not stratify participants by age-dependent disease risk will be operationally challenging, being large in size and of long duration. We present a composite genetic biomarker to stratify disease risk so as to facilitate clinical studies in high-risk populations. In addition, we discuss the rationale for the use of pioglitazone to delay the onset of AD in individuals at high risk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
