“Although it is known that Alzheimer’s disease can start up to 20 years before the first symptoms appear, the lack of knowledge about how it progresses prevents the development of effective treatments, as well as a clear diagnosis to confront this neurodegenerative disease, which origin is also unknown.” This is pointed out by the researcher at the UMA David Baglietto, specializing in the study of risk factors –namely, genetic, environmental and lifestyle– influencing on the onset and progression of this pathology.
