Abstract
This monograph identifies the full spectrum of hundreds of actionable Alzheimer's Disease (AD) contributing factors, covering the broad categories of Lifestyle, Iatrogenic, Biotoxic, Environmental/Occupational, and Psychosocial/Socioeconomic. Eliminating or reducing these actionable contributing factors offers the promise of potentially preventing and reversing AD in selected cases, and also offers the promise of dramatically lowering AD healthcare costs by circumventing the need for 1) expensive high technology AD diagnostics and treatments and 2) expensive extended maintenance and care of individuals with AD. The monograph also describes the text mining/information technology advances that allowed the AD actionable contributing factors to be identified and extracted efficiently from the large numbers of biomedical journal articles retrieved.
