Researchers are looking to find interventions for Alzheimer's in Africa, a region that's historically overlooked.
Research in Alzheimer's is progressing rapidly, opening up more interventions and treatments, but there are concerns that not everywhere in the world will benefit from such advances. In fact, most of the dementia cases in the world are in low- and middle-income countries, a number that will only increase as their populations age. The new research will identify the best interventions to try and prevent the progression of Alzheimer's in Africa and allow better brain ageing for all.
