Current treatments

There isn't a definitive treatment or cure for LATE yet.

To help improve overall health and manage the symptoms of dementia, the World Health Organization (WHO) has made recommendations that include:

• Increasing physical activity
• Maintaining a healthy diet
• Decreasing alcoholic intake
• Avoiding smoking
• Treating chronic conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, obesity and diabetes

The WHO also suggests increasing accessibility of health care and social workers to people with dementia and their caregivers.

More studies are underway to discover better ways to diagnose and possibly treat LATE.
