So says Dr. Mike Harrington of Huntington Medical Research Institutes in Pasadena. It's a calculation he bases on the rate at which people develop the fatal brain disease. "Why do some people get it when they're 50, 60, 70?" asked Harrington. "That's what we're trying to treat."
Harrington has teamed with HMRI colleague Dr. Brian Ross to embark on a two-year project to identify biomarkers for the disease before symptoms occur.
The doctors are looking for up to 120 people ages 70 to 90 to participate in the study - men and women who are healthy but at risk of developing Alzheimer's due to their age; those who are experiencing mild cognitive impairment; and those who already have dementia. "It's possible that (the study) could be very important for them in terms of delaying the onset of Alzheimer's but we won't know that during the duration of the study," said Harrington. "Realistically ... we don't expect to help (study participants) individually. The goal is to gain information that will help our children. It's for later. "(Doctors) don't have a treatment (for Alzheimer's), we don't have a cure, we don't have a good diagnostic method," he said. "Dr. Ross and I are probably not going to change that overnight."
