Abstract
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. This article reviews the results of prospective studies demonstrating that the level of systemic inflammation markers, particularly C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, can predict cognitive decline or dementia. The potential mechanisms linking systemic inflammatory molecules to cognitive decline are also discussed.
