    AD is Under-diagnosed Early Alzheimers disease is subtle, the diagnosis continues to

    be missed

    it is easy for family members to avoid the problem and compensate forthe patient

    physicians tend to miss the initial signs and symptoms

    Less than half of AD patients are diagnosed

    Estimates are that 25% to 50% of cases remain undiagnosed Diagnoses are missed at all levels of severity: mild, moderate, severe

    Undiagnosed AD patients often face avoidable social, financial,and medical problems

    Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention may lessendisease burden

    No definitive laboratory test for diagnosing AD exist

    Obesity Several prospective studies found an association

    between raised body mass index in mid life and

    an increased risk of dementia and AD. A systematic review of 4 cohort (n=22,861) F/U

    20 years = significant risk. [59]Level II-2, fair

    A meta-analysis of 7 prospective studiesfoundmoderate association

    Obesity and incident AD was 1.8 (95% CI1.0 to 3.3)

    Obesity and VaD was 1.7(95% CI 0.5 to 6.3)[60] Level II-2, good

    Recommendation

    Obesity is a modifiable risk factor andmaintenance of normal body mass index isrecommended. (Grade C)

    Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Overthe years they had shared all kinds of activities andadventures. Lately, their activities had been limited tomeeting a few times a week to play cards.One day they were playing cards when one looked at the

    other and said, "Now don't get mad at me....I know we'vebeen friends for a long time.....but I just can't think of yourname! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it.Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her.

    For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her.

    Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

    Conclusion 2

    AD is an expensive illness in human and economic

    terms for patients, their caregivers, and society.

    Diagnosis is often not made, especially in earlyand mild AD; clinical nihilism can interfere with

    initiating or sustaining treatment.

    Cholinesterase inhibitors and NMDA receptor

    antagonists attenuate symptomatic decline

    Early treatment pays off; delaying treatment has

    long-term consequences.
