Criteri diagnostici e linee guida per la malattia di Alzheimer.

Per la prima volta dopo 27 anni (i criteri clinici originali per la malattia di Alzheimer risalgono al 1984) sono stati pubblicati da tre gruppi di esperti dell’Alzheimer’s Association del National Institute on Aging (NIA) e del National Institutes of Health (NIH) i nuovi criteri e le linee guida per la diagnosi della malattia di Alzheimer.

I gruppi di lavoro hanno pubblicato su “Alzheimer’s and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association“, quattro articoli per uso clinico contenenti i criteri diagnostici per la malattia di Alzheimer, la demenza e il decadimento cognitivo lieve (MCI).
