ARUK 2018 | Prevention is better than cure: identifying the people who are at risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Speaking at the Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK) Conference 2018, held in London, UK, Delphine Boche, PhD, from the University of Southampton, Southampton, UK, discusses the importance of identifying people who are at a high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, or other types of dementia, and taking measures to impede the progression of the disease.
