From reaction kinetics to dementia: A simple dimer model of Alzheimer’s disease etiology

Incidence and prevalence.

Comparison of static and dynamic models with clinical data for AD. The dotted green lines represent the line of best fit to clinical data [19, 34] on log-scale; The black solid lines are the lines of best fit to the dynamic model on log-scale. A: for prevalence, the clinical doubling time is 4.9 y and our dynamic model predicts 12 y. B: for incidence, the clinical doubling time is 4.9 y and our dynamic model predicts 11 y. The value γ is chosen so that clinical and dynamic model incidence agree at age 60.
