Eligibility Criteria

55 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Men and women aged 55-85 years
  • 2. Diagnosis of possible or probable Alzheimer disease according to NIA-AA 2011 criteria.
  • 3. Global Deterioration Scale Stadium 5-6 / 15-5 Mini-mental State examination
  • 4. The patient is living with a family as a primary caregiver or a caregiver trained to accompany adequate and all intervention and follow-up visits. Patient and caregiver knowledge of local languages sufficient.
  • 5. The patient and caregiver willing to participate in the study. There is a high probability that patient and caregiver to complete the study.
  • 6. The patient has no sensory deficits preventing evaluation.
  • 7. The patient receives a stable Alzheimer Disease conventional medication. No change in treatment at least 90 days prior to selection.
  • 8. The patient receives a conventional stable medication for possible comorbidities. No change in treatment at least 90 days prior to selection.
  • 9. The subject or his legal representative give prior informed consent that includes genetic studies of Apolipoprotein E and rs11870474.

Exclusion Criteria:
