Anti-Amyloid Therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease: An Alzheimer Europe Position Paper and Call to Action - The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease The growing prevalence and burden of Alzheimer’s disease has catalysed huge investments in research on its causes, diagnosis, treatment and care. After many high-profile failures, recent clinical tria...

Healthcare systems in Europe will need to adapt the way they support, treat and care for people with Alzheimer's disease.

Hi Maria, thank you for your comment. No, I don't think the healthcare systems are ready. Unfortunately, there are quite a few aspects to be taken into account. Even with disease-modifying treatments coming.

Douglas McAllister: ‘A dementia diagnosis should be a right, not a waiting game’ - Politics.co.uk When we talk about the great health challenges facing the UK, cancer and heart disease rightly come to mind. But too often we overlook dementia – the leading cause of death in this country for some ti...

Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK, yet too many families wait years for a diagnosis.

I am proud to support @alzresearchuk.bsky.social’s #DementiaUnseen campaign calling for early, accurate diagnosis.

ine chart titled 'Country estimates of people living with dementia (including projections for 2025 & 2050)' showing data for Luxembourg. The x-axis shows age groups (30–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75–79, 80–84, 85–89, 90+). The y-axis shows number of people (0–5,000). Three lines represent years: 2018 (blue), 2025 (orange), 2050 (green). Across all age groups, projected numbers rise sharply by 2050, especially from age 70 upwards, peaking around 5,000 in the 90+ group. Source: Dementia in Europe Yearbook 2019.

A promotional graphic from Alzheimer Europe inviting European residents aged 18 and over to take part in a public opinion poll on dementia research. The image is set on a blue background and includes the Alzheimer Europe logo in the top right corner. On the left side, there is a stylised mobile phone screen with a QR code and the text: “Scan here to participate!”. Below it reads: “Results will be published on the Alzheimer Europe website in October 2025.” On the right side, a blue speech bubble contains key information about the poll: “We are inviting all European residents (aged 18+) to take part in our public opinion poll.” “No prior experience with dementia research needed” “Available in 12 languages” “Takes approximately 10 minutes to complete” “Your input will help shape future research and data sharing” At the top left, a brain icon is followed by the heading: “Tell us what you think about dementia research!”

Alzheimer Europe’s public opinion poll about attitudes and perceptions on dementia research and data sharing is still open. Participate today to help shape the future of #dementia research! alzheimereurope.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Younger generations less likely to have dementia, study suggests Researchers say people born more recently, particularly women, have lower risk at same age as their grandparents People born more recently are less likely to have dementia at any given age than earlier generations, research suggests, with the trend more pronounced in women. According to the World Health Organization, in 2021 there were 57 million people worldwide living with dementia, with women disproportionately affected. However, while dementia risk increases with age, experts have long stressed it is not an inevitability of getting older. Continue reading...
