First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 2,500 elderly people in Hong Kong for 2-3 years to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use blood tests, brain scans, and memory assessments to see if a simple blood test can detect the disease before symptoms get worse. The goal is to create a less invasive and cheaper way to screen for Alzheimer's in the community.
