- Abstract
Abstract: This article proposes the establishment of a United States–Israel Longitudinal Database for Healthy Aging and Preclinical Dementia as a prototype model for the eventual creation of an international database. It is envisioned that such a comprehensive international database, as a shared research resource, will provide the foundation for a systems approach to solve the dual public health problems of: (1) Early detection of individuals at an elevated risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, and (2) Developing interventions to delay onset of, or prevent, chronic brain disorders later in life.
