    Abstract:
    Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. This review describes diagnosis, differential diagnosis, etiology and course of Alzheimer's dementia. Genetic and non-genetic risk factors are presented. In addition to the already available symptomatic therapies with acetylcholinesterase-inhibitors, new therapeutic approaches with protective and restorative substances are currently being developed.
