Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is characterised by insidious onset and progressive deterioration in behavioural and cognitive functions, is a neurodegenerative disease that commonly affects the central nervous system (CNS).1 The prevalence of AD increases with advancing age and, after the age of 65, the risk of AD doubles every five years. It is more common in women than men.1 It is thought that chronic inflammatory diseases and conditions in peripheral organs such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and
periodontitis can affect the inflammatory state in the CNS and exacerbate the molecular pathology of AD.1
