Disease Registries: "Key to Finding Cure for Alzheimer's"

A disease registry, or disease registries, will be key to finding a cure or treatments to Alzheimer's Disease, according to a recent panel of 15 reviewers brought together by the NIH who looked at 250 human research studies and 25 papers about the disease. Some slight correlations between diet, exercise and mental activity were in the data but relationships were too small to be definitive, thus validating the need for disease registries. Comparative effectiveness research of different treatments in ongoing studies will continue over the coming 10 to 15 years.
