Alzheimer's disease, a project to anticipate
FIFTY million people in the world suffer from a form of dementia, of which the most common is the Alzheimer's disease , and this figure is expected to triple by 2050. Currently there is no cure but only therapy to alleviate temporarily the symptoms. For this a large part of research is working to identify not only the risk factors of neurodegenerative diseases , but also early symptoms, present already several years before their appearance. Among these, there may also be disturbances apparently disconnected, such as sleep problems or cardiac symptoms.

Discover which items are linked to the development of dementia is essential for both to better understand these diseases is to better manage who is at risk of developing it. With this objective, the project was born of English EDoN (Early Detection of Neurodegenerative diseases) Alzheimer's Research Uk, the leading nonprofit organization for research on dementia in the United Kingdom. The project will combine a lot of data on the general health, and the brain of people from all over the world. That is why it is important to seek out these indicators and what the project is.

Anticipate to the studies Some studies have shown that the formation of the protein beta-amyloid, believed to be one of the main responsible for the disease, early already almost 20 years before the onset of symptoms. Currently it is not possible to identify those patients in advance, however, scientists are travelling all the roads to be able to intercept dementia at a very early.
