Late-Onset Alzheimer's Harder to Detect, Less Aggressive

New research is showing that Alzheimer's disease progresses more slowly in adults over 80. However, this makes it more difficult to detect and treat. Caregivers are less likely to notice the disease developing in the very old because the symptoms may be less apparent at first than they are in other age groups.

The study was performed by researchers at the University of California, who used data compiled by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
