Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia. Although the total number of cases recorded in our country continues to increase due to the aging of the population, the number of new cases per age group is starting to decrease, probably thanks to the various public health measures put in place in the second half of the 20th century. We will see in this conference that these strategies for preventing Alzheimer’s disease can still largely be optimized and that they are everyone’s business.
Over the past 20 years, theoretical knowledge about Alzheimer’s disease has exploded. These have enabled the development of new biomarkers of the disease which today make diagnosis more precise and earlier, with a real impact on the long-term prognosis of patients. Also, this new knowledge has enabled the development of new treatments specifically targeting the lesions of the disease: anti-amyloid immunotherapies. These drugs concern patients suffering from early-stage disease, who are partly identified using biomarkers. Although already available in the United States and Japan, these treatments have a narrow benefit-risk balance and are therefore the subject of intense discussions in Europe and France before possibly arriving in our hospitals.
Dr. Vincent Planche is a neurologist, head of the Memory Resources Research Center at Bordeaux University Hospital and researcher at the Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases (CNRS – University of Bordeaux)
