LONDON – Alzheimer’s disease is by far the most common cause of dementia and one of the world’s most feared disorders. By 2050, there will be 135 million Alzheimer’s sufferers worldwide, a threefold increase from today, with three-quarters of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
伦敦—阿尔茨海默症是目前最常见的痴呆诱发因素，也是世界上最令人恐慌的神经疾病。到2050年，全球将有1.35亿阿尔茨海默症患者，较目前增加三倍，其中四分之三发生在中低收入国家。预测阿尔茨海默的开始——更不用说预防和治疗了——仍是一个巨大的挑战。
