Abstract

There is no doubt that individuals, families, communities, and governments face an enormous challenge in the growing number of persons with dementia in our societies. Accompanying this demographic boomis an opportunity to examine the way we think about the vast, miscellaneous category we currently call “Alzheimer’s disease”, (AD), which has just eclipsed its 100th year in the medical lexicon.
