Recently, Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) stressed that around 75% of people living with dementia globally are still not receiving a diagnosis. In this commentary, I reflect on how efforts towards better cognitive assessments, particularly of memory, can be aligned and harmonized to contribute to such needs. I highlight some barriers that ongoing collaborations and trials are facing and their potential drivers. I suggest some strategies that can help overcome them and in so doing, integrate research agendas. We need to ignite the debate towards strategies that can help level the playfield to tackle Alzheimer's disease with true global solutions.
最近,国际阿尔茨海默病协会(ADI)强调,在全球范围内,仍有大约 75%的痴呆症患者尚未得到诊断。在这篇评论中,我反思了如何使更好的认知评估工作,特别是记忆力评估,能够协调一致,以满足这些需求。我强调了正在进行的合作和试验所面临的一些障碍及其潜在的驱动因素。我提出了一些可以帮助克服这些障碍的策略,并在此过程中整合研究议程。我们需要点燃一场辩论,探讨有助于解决全球阿尔茨海默病问题的策略,真正实现全球解决方案。
