Abstract

Due to demographic changes the frequency of dementia is increasing dramatically. About 50-60% of patients with dementia are clinically associated with AD, which is a multifactorial and long-term disease both in clinical and preclinical aspects. Various genetic and non-genetic risk factors play a role in influencing age of onset and disease progression.
