An instant test at 40 to predict Alzheimer’s: Routine screening could be here in two
years
Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease decades before symptoms appear would soon be possible,
courtesy a 30-second test being developed by scientists.
The simple procedure, which detects the signs of Alzheimer’s in those in their 40s, brings the
hope of routine screening for dementia in as little as two years.
Those found to have a tiny piece of tell-tale damage to their brains could take preventative
measures such as changing their diet and taking more exercise.
Quicker detection would allow earlier treatment and, with the help of new drugs, some
who test positive might never develop the disease.
“The study lays open the possibilities for screening, early detection and intervention.
The earlier
we can intervene with people vulnerable to eventual dementia, the greater the chances of
preventing or delaying the disease onset,” the
