Alzheimer’s disease was described in 1906, but it was only in 1987 that it was recognized as a public health problem with the actions of patient family associations. Despite successive Alzheimer plans, it remains a neglected and under-diagnosed disease. The lack of curative treatment and a clash of views between general practitioners and specialists explain these findings. Paradoxically, despite this neglect, Alzheimer’s disease is receding in the city. This is the proof that prevention is possible. |
