Alzheimer’s Disease

Ø An estimated 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer's Disease

Ø  6th leading cause of death in the United States

Ø  $226 billion: the direct costs of care in the United States in 2015

Ø  In 2050: 14 million people will have AD

Ø  In 2050: $1.1 trillion: direct costs

Alzheimer’s Disease: Symptoms

Ø Memory loss that disrupts daily life

Ø Challenges in planning or problem solving

Ø Difficulty completing familiar tasks

Ø Confusion with time or place

Ø  Trouble with visual images and spatial relationships

Ø New problems with words when speaking or writing

Ø Mood and personality changes

Ø  The cortex shrivels up, damaging areas involved in thinking, planning and remembering.

Ø  Shrinkage is especially severe in

the hippocampus, an area of the cortex that plays a key role in formation of new memories.

Ø  Ventricles (fluid-filled spaces

within the brain) grow larger.

The Alzheimer’s Brain: Microscopic Changes

Ø  Alzheimer's tissue has many fewer nerve cells and synapses than a healthy brain.

Ø  PLAQUES, abnormal clusters

of protein fragments, build up between nerve cells.

Ø  Dead and dying nerve cells contain TANGLES, which are made up of twisted strands of another protein.

Alzheimer’s  Biomarkers:  Comparison  of  Clinical  CogniOve,  Structural.  Metabolic,  &  Biochemical  Changes  vs.  EsOmated  Expected  Years  for  Symptom  Onset    

Bateman  et  al  (2012)

Brain scans show evidence of Alzheimer’s disease 20 years before symptoms arise (far left), 10 years before (middle), and after the onset of symptoms (right). Beta amyloid, a protein associated with the disease, is more visible in people who develop the disease (top row) than in those who don’t. The more color in the scan, the more beta amyloid is present in the brain.
