TL;DR Summary

A study has identified 11 blood proteins that can predict dementia with 90% accuracy up to 15 years before clinical diagnosis. These proteins, including GFAP, NEFL, GDF15, and LTBP2, act as warning signs for the disease and could revolutionize dementia diagnosis by providing early support and access to treatment. The findings suggest that blood tests could replace invasive and costly diagnostic methods, potentially improving the quality of life for dementia patients.
