According to data, there are about 15 million dementia patients in the elderly aged 60 and above in China, of which 10 million are Alzheimer's disease patients - this common name Alzheimer's disease is already the fifth leading cause
of death in China.

.
Current studies have identified mutations in the progerin 1 (PSEN1) gene and two other amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes, Progerin 2 ( PSEN2) genes are disease-causing genes
.
These three gene mutations are rare in the population, accounting for less than 1%
of all Alzheimer's patients.

such as the quality of education.

to reduce dementia through preventive measures.
