Revealing research breakthroughs for Alzheimer's disease care.
Dear Friend,
This week's Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2024 (AAIC®) contains the latest advances on every aspect of dementia research and care. The world's leading dementia scientists are sharing breaking research discoveries and important updates that could lead to new methods of treatment and prevention.
I am especially excited by the newly reported research findings in early detection and treatment. We learned that some new blood tests that accurately and reliably detect Alzheimer's hallmark brain changes may soon signal a shift to simpler, less-expensive and less-invasive detection and diagnosis tools.
Regarding risk factors, a study of 1.2 million Californians showed an increased risk of dementia after exposure to wildfire smoke, which may prove to be even more damaging to brain health than other air pollution.
It's only with your support we can deliver on the promise of what we learn here at AAIC — by accelerating research and providing care and support resources.
I'm excited to think about the exchange of ideas happening this week at AAIC. As you read about new breakthroughs, there's a good chance many of them may have started with the people at this year's conference. That's not only a reflection on those researchers and scientists — it's also a reflection on the strength of our community's commitment.
With appreciation,
Michael Reich
Chief Marketing Officer
