A possible blood test to detect and predict Alzheimer's is showing promise in a new study.
Researchers say a blood test may predict if apparently healthy older adults are likely to develop Alzheimer's symptoms in the next five or ten years. It could be used to determine who should try drugs being tested to delay or prevent the disease. The test is for a protein called PTAU217. It's currently used to help diagnose whether people experiencing cognitive problems have Alzheimer's or another disorder. The scientists behind the new study say symptom-free older adults with very high levels of P-tau-217 had a 38% risk of developing cognitive impairment over five years, 78% in 10 years. They say it's too soon for healthy people to start asking for the test. For now, eat and sleep well and get lots of exercise.
Chris Foster, Fox News.
