A recent study suggests that a blood test can potentially predict dementia up to 15 years before diagnosis by identifying changes in certain proteins.
A study identified 11 proteins in blood linked to future dementia with over 90% accuracy.
Researchers analyzed blood samples from 50,000 people over 15 years and used AI to find these protein markers.
While promising, more research is needed to confirm if these tests work in real-world settings.
This could potentially lead to earlier diagnoses and treatment, improving outcomes for those with dementia.
The study, published in Nature Aging, was conducted by researchers from the University of Warwick and Fudan University in China.
