What is the Epidemiology of Neurofibrillary Tangles?
The prevalence of NFTs increases with age, and they are most commonly found in individuals over the age of 65. Epidemiological studies have shown that the presence of NFTs is strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease, which affects millions of people worldwide. The incidence rate of Alzheimer's is expected to rise significantly with the aging population, making NFTs a critical area of study in public health.
