July 14, 2010 (Honolulu, Hawaii) — Draft reports from 3 workgroups presented here at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease 2010 will form the basis for new diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) — the first update of the current criteria in 25 years.
The NIA/Alzheimer's Association working groups were organized around the three stages of Alzheimer's disease that are commonly thought to exist today – pre-clinical Alzheimer's, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's, and Alzheimer's dementia.
隨著醫學界對阿茲海默症有更進一步的了解,國際醫學專家目前正積極推動把已經實施超過二十五年的診斷標準進行重大改革。
專家表示新標準將使得全球被判定罹患阿茲海默症的人數比現在增加兩到三倍。新的建議將阿茲海默症區分為臨床前期,輕度知能障礙,以及阿茲海默症三個分期。
