A research is currently under way to develop a blood test that can detect dementia up to two decades before people develop any symptoms relating to Alzheimer’s such as memory loss. The research undertaken by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is one step closer to clinical use. The blood test is 94 percent accurate at identifying early Alzheimer’s disease.
