Alzheimer's disease (AD) presently occupies the topmost position among the most diagnosed neurodegenerative diseases worldwide, with the number of affected people forecasted to reach 100 million by 2050. According to the latest statistics, nearly 44 million people in the world suffer from AD or related dementia, with only one in four being diagnosed with the disease. Currently, the disease has no cure available for its treatment, except for some relief from some of the symptoms. Besides its multifactorial and heterogeneous nature, AD is also progressive, i.e., the symptoms gradually worsen with the passage of years. Multiple risk factors including genetic and environmental sources have been implicated in the emergence of AD, with advancing age being identified as the most significant among them.
