Sažetak
A continuous rise in life expectancy has led to an increase
in the number of senior citizens, now amounting to a fifth
of the global population, and to a dramatic increase in the
prevalence of diseases of the elderly. This review discuss-
es the threat of dementia, a disease that imposes enor-
mous financial burden on health systems and warrants
efficient therapeutic solutions. What we learned from nu-
merous failed clinical trials is that we have to immediately
take into account two major elements: early detection of
dementia, much before the onset of symptoms, and per-
sonalized (precision) medicine treatment approach. We
also discuss some of the most promising therapeutic di-
rections, including stem cells, exosomes, electromagnetic
fields, and ozone.
