The report is highly technical and probably hard to understand for most of us.
Here is one quote from the conclusions:

Thanks, that was interesting. It was published over 4 years ago, there should be plenty of responses from the Alzheimer's research community by this time. I'm not sure what the consensus is.

If AD is a kind of diabetes, it would explain why the rate of AD is increasing.
