During a Focused Topic Session at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, NeurologyLive® inquired with a panel of experts about the possibility of exploring a combination approach to Alzheimer disease as the future of treatment.

All severities of Alzheimer disease showed statistically significant benefits from the exercise program relative to controls, with more mild groups demonstrating the most improvement.

The monoclonal antibody that preferentially targets Aß oligomers failed to meet either of its coprimary end points—despite favorable results over the placebo group—in individuals who were unimpaired but at risk for AD.

Using several large-scale cohorts, findings showed that cumulative incidence of Alzheimer disease grows faster with age in R145C variant carriers compared with noncarriers, contradicting prior research results.

Across the cohort, 11.6% of patients had impairments in memory, attention, and executive function; however, cognitive status was influenced by severity of anosmia, or loss of taste and smell.

Non-White participants over 90 years of age who reported a mean of 4 discrimination experiences had significantly worse baseline semantic memory compared with those who reported little/no discrimination.

A cohort of more than 2000 older Latin American individuals reported a significant difference in cognitive symptoms when they underwent a positive life change during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As hospitalizations remain high throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, new data suggests that ICU hospitalization is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer disease and all-type dementia.
