Summary
This study will check if a blood test can find signs of Alzheimer's disease in people with early memory concerns. Researchers will test 1,000 adults aged 55 and older in primary care. The goal is to see if blood markers for amyloid and tau proteins match those found in spinal fluid, which is the current gold standard for diagnosis.
