Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease, a neurological disease, is a very costly public health problem. As the population ages, the incidence of Alzheimer's will increase. The incidence of Alzheimer's will nearly quadruple in the next 40 years. Finding a way to delay the onset of this disease could have a major impact on public health.

This is a MPH graduate assignment.

1. Provide a concise description of what is known about how Alzheimer's disease occurs

2. Please include risk factors such as genes and environment. Utilize molecular and biological terminology as appropriate.

3. Discuss at least one example of recent, published literature that is being done to understand how Alzheimer's disease occurs.

4. Explain how the findings can be applied in public health.

5. Support your discussion by citing at least one primary research article

Your initial postings must be 400 words (not including the full references).
