| Annotation | In its most common late onset form occurring after age 65, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is unlikely to refer to a discrete neuropatholgical entity. This article considers how professional attitudes have evolved since the 19th century; the challenges and implications for practitioners in identifying and diagnosing the condition; and the implications for prevention and quality of life.
