Curing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains an elusive goal and may prove to be impossible due to the very nature of the disease. While modulating disease progression is an attractive target and will alleviate the burden of the most severe disease stages, this strategy will not reduce disease prevalence. Preventing or, as will be described, delaying the onset of cognitive impairment and AD will provide the greatest benefit to individuals and society by pushing the onset of disease into later ages. Because of the highly variable age of disease onset, AD prevention studies that do not stratify participants by age-dependent disease risk will be operationally challenging – large in size and of long duration. We present a composite genetic biomarker to stratify disease risk that facilitates clinical studies in high risk people. In addition, we discuss the rationale for the use of pioglitazone to delay disease onset in high risk people.
