Abstract
The Pan American Congress of Neurology was organized by the Bolivian Society of Neurology on behalf of the World Federation of Neurology in La Paz, Bolivia. Aging and dementia was one of the main congress tracks that has been highlighted in recent Latin American research in the field, focusing specifically on epidemiological studies, the economic cost of dementia and new Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers. A 4-year follow-up study of AD biomarkers was discussed and a survey was conducted in Argentina on the opinion of the general population in relation to the clinical use of these biomarkers, and early diagnosis criteria of AD were presented. In parallel, a newly developed Neurology International Conference for Primary Care was run that was designed for the education of more than 350 general practitioners from all the regions of Bolivia.
