The current review seeks to provide a concise overview of the neuropathology and genetics underlying Alzheimer’s disease, and then summarize the most promising clinically available and experimental biomarkers of AD.

This chapter advances the UN SDG Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities. It examines the globalization of health as there is increase focus on the international transfer of diseases and the imperative of cooperating to combat inequity under societal conditions that create the spread of diseases and their effects on individual nations and the global community.
This Article supports SDG 3 by providing the first comprehensive review of the global burden of hepatis B and C in people with tuberculosis, through a systematic review and meta-analysis including 127 studies. The review found a high prevalence of these infections in this patient population, showing the need for routine hepatitis testing at the point of diagnosis of tuberculosis.
This Article supports SDG 3 by analysing several cohorts of people with HIV/HCV co-infection across 6 high-income countries, and identifying that a substantial proportion had not commenced direct-acting antiviral treatment for HCV infection despite unrestricted access. Factors associated with commencement or lack thereof are explored; for example, people with indicators of low engagement with HIV care (eg, not on antiretroviral therapy) were more likely not to have commenced HCV direct-acting antiviral treatment)
This study was designed to explore the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) rates and socioeconomic conditions in 120 countries.

This chapter aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and Goal 12: Responsible Consumption by making public policymakers and nutrition marketers aware of how food and nourishment are linked to environmental conditions, as well as how sustainable approaches in nutrition marketing enhance positive behavior and build healthy societies.
Drinking water and sanitation services in high-income countries typically bring widespread health and other benefits to their populations.
Growing evidence suggests that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, with alterations in gut microbiome composition linked to increased intestinal permeability, blood-brain barrier impairment, and neuroinflammation, and that gut microbiome modulation may alleviate AD symptoms, serve as a preventive measure, and also address comorbidities like Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), with future research directions including fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and precision medicine.
This review discusses the link between isolation, loneliness, and Alzheimer's Disease, and underscores the necessity of understanding and addressing these risk factors to develop successful prevention and treatment approaches.
