Spotting Early Dementia: Key Signs and Simple Tests

US neurologist Dr. Baibing Chen, known as Dr. Bing, has shared five simple tests that can help detect early signs of dementia. These tests include standing on one leg, identifying odors, drawing a clock, performing a dual task gait test, and a verbal fluency test. These activities assess various cognitive functions such as balance, smell, executive function, and memory, which can indicate early dementia. Early diagnosis allows for treatments that can slow the progression of dementia, a condition affecting millions worldwide.
