Summary

This study follows 1,000 adults in Lombardy, Italy, who have early memory complaints but no dementia. Researchers will use blood tests and annual check-ups over 5 years to see if certain biomarkers can predict who later develops Alzheimer's. The goal is to improve early detection and prevention strategies.

What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or therapy, and results may take years to influence patient care.
