TL;DR
A possible relationship between altered FRM with memory deficits among adults with DS within the age-range is suggested in that an age-related increase in the prevalence for Alzheimer's neuropathology is known to be robust before reaching a plateau of 100%.
Abstract
These observations suggest a possible relationship between altered FRM with memory deficits among adults with DS within the age-range in that an age-related increase in the prevalence for Alzheimer's neuropathology is known to be robust before reaching a plateau of 100%.

It is concluded that in DS, formation of SP and NFT predate any significant atrophy and loss of nerve cells and that it is only after the age of 50 years that gross atrophy or loss of neurones occurs, though the extent of this process seemingly does not predict the onset of dementia.
