The World Alzheimer Report 2026 argues that Alzheimer's disease is increasingly treatable and potentially preventable, although a cure remains distant. New medicines can modestly slow decline, and researchers are examining earlier diagnosis, blood tests, and interventions before symptoms appear.

Experts called for stronger diagnostic pathways, cheaper testing, and earlier identification of people at risk.
