Alzheimer's and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): Is this epidemic a one-way street?

Update: 2022-12-01

Description

Few age-related diseases are more devastating than Alzheimer's. A recent study from Columbia University suggests in individuals 65+ years of age, 10% have a dementia diagnosis and almost 25% have a diagnosis of MCI or mild cognitive decline. For the 90+ age demographic, over 30% have a dementia diagnosis. The costs to the individuals and those who care for them is staggering. In this recording, mark and John review the data from this paper (Annals of Neurology October 2022) and offer a different perspective on how to prevent, what today, feels like a one-way street.
