Abstract

At present, China is the country with the largest number of people with Alzheimer disease(AD) over the world. This has posed a major burden to the health of the elderly people and the sustainable development of economy in China. There are yet no medication that can prevent the progression of AD. Given the current circumstances, the greatest possibility of combating AD should start even before the disease begins to manifest. Subjective cognitive decline(SCD), a high-risk group of AD, has been identified as the most important target persons for prevention. The National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders of Xuanwu Hospital convened a workgroup to develop recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of SCD as a part of the plan of “healthy China 2030”, a national health strategy proposed by the Chinese government in 2016, to advance early diagnosis and treatment technology for major chronic diseases as clinical practice. These recommendations include the concept of defining SCD, epidemiology, neuropsychological examinations, neuroimaging and non-pharmalogical interventions of SCD in oder to improve the understanding of AD among medical staff, and ultimately achieve the final goal of “The End of Alzheimer’s”.
