The causes of dementia in later life are reviewed. Special attention is paid to senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type, its prevelance, the characteristic structural changes in the brains of persons suffering from this disorder, and the hypothesized causes of the disease. The hypothesis that Alzheimer's disease represents accelerated aging is described. Treatment issues are discussed, primarily in terms of supportive environments, differential diagnosis, and assistance to the caregiver.

Abstract The National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health was established in 1974 with a mission to support and conduct research on aging processes, age-related diseases, and special problems and needs of the aged. Shortly thereafter, the Institute was designated by Congress as the lead research agency in Alzheimer’s disease. During this symposium, NIA’s scientific leadership will reflect on major accomplishments to improve the health of older individuals over the past 45 years and look to the future of the NIA and aging research. This symposium will describe progress led by NIA’s extramural divisions, the intramural program, and the Office of Special Populations. A brief panel discussion will ensue, followed by an informal reception and opportunities for networking in celebration of NIA’s 45 years
