Abstract:
The Paquid research program was specifically designed to study the epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Paquid is a prospective study of a representative random sample of 4,134 elderly people living in Gironde and Dordogne, two administrative areas around Bordeaux in South-Western France. This program allowed to obtain prevalence, incidence, survival of AD and to analyze risk factors, consequences and premonitory signs of this disease.
