Advances in Predicting Alzheimer's Disease
12 November 2023
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EST
Session Description
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease would mean better outcomes for individuals, caregivers, and communities. New blood tests are simplifying early detection measures, with some predicting a person's risk for Alzheimer's disease with up to 98% accuracy. Other insights are upending previously held beliefs that women with Alzheimer's disease experience a faster rate of cognitive decline than men. Researchers will describe how these new developments advance our understanding of this disease and move us closer to preventive therapeutics.
