Millions of people have symptoms of cognitive impairment, and test results can show their progression to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. There are often dozens of factors that contribute to any person’s cognitive decline – including genetics, blood chemistry, medications, medical history, diet and lifestyle. These vary widely from person to person. When addressed together, the progression of symptoms can be avoided, slowed, or even rolled back. Dr. John Q. Walker will discuss pioneering work in this “multivariable” approach, bringing mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence and bioinformatics to a medical topic that has failed to yield to a “one disease, one drug approach.”
