Alzheimer's Disease

The Alzheimer’s Disease topic includes research on the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, a brain disorder causing dementia.

Although dementia is more common in older adults, it is not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer’s and related dementias (AD/ADRD) are a significant public health challenge, placing an emotional, physical, and financial burden on those living with these diseases and their families and care partners, underscoring the urgent need for effective diagnostics, prevention, treatments, and care.
