Alzheimer’s disease prevalence may be underreported in developing countries
New data on lower incidence from developed countries in Europe and the United States suggest the possibility of reducing Alzheimer’s risk and/or preventing the disease, according to the results of several research studies announced at AAIC. Scientists suggest this may be due to higher education levels and more aggressive treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, researchers also reported that incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in developing countries such as Colombia and large regions of Asia and Africa may be severely underreported.
