Скачать или смотреть Tool Predicts Alzheimer's Memory Loss Risk

A groundbreaking new tool developed by Mayo Clinic researchers can predict Alzheimer's-related memory risk years before symptoms appear. This predictive model combines three key factors: age, genetic risk associated with the APOE ε4 gene, and brain amyloid levels measured by PET scans. Based on over two decades of research tracking more than 5,100 adults, the tool estimates both 10-year and lifetime risk of developing mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's-related dementia. Amyloid buildup emerged as the strongest predictor, with women showing higher lifetime risk than men. While not yet available for routine clinical use, this advancement offers hope for early interventions and preventive planning, similar to how cholesterol tests predict heart disease risk. The study, published in The Lancet Neurology in November 2025, represents a significant step forward in predictive neuroscience.
