"AI-Driven Blood Test Predicts Dementia 15 Years in Advance"

Chinese scientists have used a massive database and AI to identify proteins linked to the risk of developing dementia, creating a predictive model to assess disease risk up to 15 years before symptoms start. By analyzing blood samples from over 50,000 people, the team found proteins that began changing in expression up to a decade before clinical onset of dementia. Their AI algorithm, combined with demographic information, shows promise in accurately predicting future dementia, offering potential cost benefits compared to current screening methods. The study, while limited in diversity and scope, provides clues for new treatments and intervention strategies, with ongoing research on other brain-related conditions.
