Summary
This study is testing whether blood tests can help screen for Alzheimer's disease in older adults during routine check-ups. Researchers will enroll 3,000 people aged 60-80 from communities and clinics. Participants will give blood samples, and those with abnormal results will take memory and thinking tests to see if the blood test accurately identifies early Alzheimer's.
