Advancing the Science
Alzheimer’s is a global health problem with more than 6 million people living with the disease in the US alone.

These advances are leading to great strides in strategies for prevention, detection, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions. The Alzheimer’s Association is a global leader in research, mobilizing the field to advance the vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
