Abstract
About 25% of cognitively unimpaired older adults have an elevated brain amyloid burden comparable to that of individuals with symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. Pomara and Imbimbo examine the ongoing debate over whether these individuals should be classified as having preclinical Alzheimer’s disease or simply be considered ‘at risk’.
