Early prevention of AD:

　　Alzheimer's disease is a complex multifactorial disease, in which old age, family history and carrying apolipoprotein Ee4 allele are important risk factors for dementia.In addition to these uncontrollable risk factors, there are many controllable risk factors。Early intervention with controlled risk factors can reduce the risk of dementia by 40%。

Early diagnosis and treatment of AD:

　　The deposition of pathological proteins in the brain has occurred 15-20 years before clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and the average course of disease after the onset of symptoms is 10-12 years。Clinically, it can be divided into pre-clinical, mild cognitive impairment and mild, moderate and severe dementia。Early detection, diagnosis and treatment can significantly delay the progression of the disease, improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the burden of caregivers。
