Projected Number of Persons
with Alzheimer’s Disease
In 2000, there were 4.5 million Americans with AD.
50, the number of Americans with AD will increase to btw 11 and 16 million

Figure 3 Proposed model relating imaging, pathology
and clinical presentation over an individual’s adult lifetime.
The lifetime clinical course of the disease is divided into pre-symptomatic,
prodromal and dementia phases.
• Late-onset AD is more
common. It usually affects
people over age 65. The
primary risk factor for AD is
age.
Rare, early onset autosomal-dominant forms of
the disease are caused by mutations in 3 genes
(APP, Presenilin 2, Presenilin 1) all of which alter
production of the amyloid β ( A β ) peptide;
less than 5% of all AD cases.

Currently FDA Approved
Treatments for AD
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
has approved two types of medications to
treat cognitive symptoms of AD.

Biochemical Biomarkers
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF): AD in its earliest
stages may cause changes in CSF levels of beta-
amyloid and tau, two proteins that form abnormal
brain deposits strongly linked to the disease.

Genetics
Summary: ADNI
Standardization: imaging, biomarkers
Neuroscience: relationships among biomarker
trajectories elucidate neurobiology
Trials: new understanding of biomarkers has
facilitated interventional studies in very early AD
Data sharing: ADNI has demonstrated the power
of real-time public data sharing
Collaboration: academia, industry, non-profits,
regulatory agencies world-wide

Criteria for Alzheimer’s Disease
OVERALL GOALS
Probable AD dementia:
Patient meets the clinical and cognitive criteria for dementia and
does not have evidence of alternate diagnoses, particularly
cerebrovascular disease.
Probability can be enhanced by factors including a documented
longitudinal decline and positive evidence from biomarkers, or they
may be an AD mutation carrier.
○
AD Dementia
Pathologically proved AD dementia:
Patient meets the clinical and cognitive criteria for AD
dementia during life and then have proven AD by
pathological examination.
Possible AD dementia:
Patients who have an atypical course; i.e., those who meet
other clinical/ cognitive criteria, but for whom information on
the course of progression is lacking or uncertain. It also
includes those who meet clinical and cognitive criteria but
who are negative for biomarkers. Includes those with mixed
presentation.
MCI
Four clinical and cognitive criteria for MCI due to AD
were developed — similar but slightly different from
original criteria for MCI:
Concern regarding a change in cognition: Concern
about a change in cognition from prior level (patient, an
informant, or a skilled clinician).
Impairment in 1 or more cognitive domains:
Performance should be lower than would be expected
from the patient's age and education. Memory impairment
is clearly the most common but other domains may be
impaired, may be impairments in more than 1 domain.
MCI
Preservation of independence in functional
abilities: Have the ability to maintain
independence of function with minimal aids and
assistance ; may have mild problems with
complex tasks such as paying bills, preparing
meals, or shopping, etc.

Lifestyle Therapies Tested in
Animals for Cognitive Decline and AD
Interventions
• Behavioral enrichment
• Dietary antioxidants
• Exercise
Results
e.g., Cotman CW, Head E. The canine (dog) model of human aging and disease:
dietary, environmental and immunotherapy approaches. J Alzheimers Dis.
2008;15(4):685–707.
Hypothesize that improved mitochondrial function, achieved by the AOX
diet, is a key factor in the synergistic/additive effect of the combined
intervention on cognitive function.

Human Observational Lifestyle
Studies: Diet, Exercise
Mediterranean Diet (MeDi) adherence and physical
activity (PA) on AD risk
Prospective multi-ethnic cohort study of 1880
community-dwelling elders without dementia living in
New York, New York, with both diet and physical activity
information available
Results: Risk for incident AD was lower for both higher
MeDi adherence and more PA.
Adoption of both physical activity and healthy nutrition
seem to be independently associated with low risk for AD
Found that those treated with both insulin and oral diabetic
agents had significantly fewer amyloid plaques (as much as
80 percent) than patients with other medication statuses
(none, or only insulin or oral anti-diabetic medication) or non-
diabetic controls
