Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of senile dementia. In Ecuador, the number of deaths caused by AD increases each year. Epidemiologically, the Ecuadorian population is composed of a mixture of several genetic backgrounds along with environmental factors, that make it unique and ideal for population studies. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Cystatin C...
