Abstract :
Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia due to progressive brain disease. It still has no current cure and scientists endeavor better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, or prevent it from developing. This study aims to construct a structure of susceptibility to AD by using biomarkers and risk factors. The probability of susceptibility to AD is enhanced by the presence of biomarkers and risk factors.
