Flu, pneumonia vaccines linked to reduced risk of Alzheimer's

International investigators, clinicians and care researchers gathered virtually this week for the Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2020 (AAIC®) to discuss the latest studies, theories and discoveries that will help bring the world closer to breakthroughs in dementia science. Studies presented at AAIC suggest flu and pneumonia vaccinations — especially multiple vaccinations over time — are associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's in later life.

Studies show blood tests for Alzheimer's might be on the horizon

Multiple studies reported at AAIC showed advances in blood tests for abnormal versions of the Alzheimer's-related protein tau. A blood test has the potential to make diagnosis simpler, more affordable and widely available.
