Beyond Association: A Quantitative Analysis of the Infectious Burden in Alzheimer’s Disease

2026-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a subject of intense investigation. While the 2024 Lancet Commission report attributes approximately 45% of global dementia cases to 14 modifiable risk factors, it notably excludes infectious agents due to debated causality. This exclusion contrasts with growing evidence that pathogens, specifically Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), Porphyromonas gingivalis and...
