A new study suggests a simple blood test may help predict dementia in women up to 25 years before symptoms appear. Researchers found higher levels of a blood protein called p-tau217 were strongly ...

Scientists have created a blood test that can estimate when Alzheimer’s symptoms are likely to begin. By measuring a protein called p-tau217, the model predicts symptom onset within roughly three to ...

A recent study published in Nature Aging demonstrates that simple blood tests can accurately detect Alzheimer’s disease and ...

It’s all in the eyes. They say that eyes are a window into your soul — but research shows they might also serve as an early window into cognitive decline. A study published in Neurology suggests a ...

Elevated cardiac troponin I levels during midlife — indicative of subclinical myocardial injury — were associated with a higher risk for dementia, faster cognitive decline, and greater brain atrophy ...

Early detection is imperative to catch neurodegenerative diseases like dementia in their early stages and slow disease progression. But regular cognitive testing is not yet commonplace in healthcare ...

When doctors suspect Alzheimer's, they can order a blood test to learn whether a patient's brain contains the sticky amyloid plaques that are a hallmark of the disease. But the results of that test ...

Dementia is one of the biggest health challenges facing aging populations around the world. Millions of people develop memory loss and thinking problems as they grow older, and Alzheimer’s disease is ...
