If you live long enough, either you will have Alzheimer’s yourself or it’ll be one of your relatives or one of your friends or… maybe more than one. This is a public health issue of the 21st century which is getting very personal.

Discussants:

Professor Aaron Kesselheim (Harvard Medical School)
Professor Peter Whitehouse (Neurology, Case Western Reserve University)
Professor Frank Harrell (Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University)
Dr Richard Oakley (Alzheimer’s Society, UK)
